# What does DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) mean in logistics?

Short answer

Incoterm for any mode: the seller delivers to the named destination cleared for import, bearing all costs and risks including import duties and taxes. It places the maximum obligation on the seller.

Import clearance in India needs an importer with an IEC, so DDP delivery to an Indian buyer needs a structure in which the seller or its agent can lawfully act as importer. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
