Shipping from China to the USA doesn’t have to be complicated. For many importers, especially Amazon FBA sellers, DDP shipping has become the most reliable way to get goods delivered quickly and without customs hassles. But what exactly is DDP, and how can you make the most of it? Let’s break it down.

Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) is an international shipping term where the shipper handles all costs and responsibilities, including:

Freight charges

Import duties/taxes

Final delivery to your designated address or FBA warehouse
