DDP (“Delivered Duties Paid”) means duties and taxes are paid up-front in the price you see.
What DDP covers
- Duties on eligible personal effects and household goods
- Customs clearance at India entry
- Last-mile delivery to the address
What DDP does NOT cover
- Value thresholds — shipments above threshold may need extra duty deposit
- Restricted goods — batteries, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, etc.
- Regulatory surcharges (e.g. remote-area delivery)
When to choose DDP
DDP is best when you want zero surprises in India. Our Economy line is cheaper but any Indian duties are billed to the recipient on arrival.
