# What does DAP (Delivered at Place) mean in logistics?

Short answer

Incoterm for any mode: the seller delivers the goods on the arriving vehicle, ready for unloading, at the named destination and bears the risk until then. The buyer unloads and handles import clearance and duties.

Used for cross-border road shipments and door deliveries abroad. For imports into India, the Indian buyer remains the importer and pays duty. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
