Buyer Question
Who Handles Customs Clearance and Import Duty?
It follows the Incoterm you choose. On FOB your forwarder clears and pays duty; on DDP we arrange clearance and delivery to your door. Duty itself is always the importer's cost — it is only a question of who processes it.
FOBYou nominate the forwarder, clear customs and pay duty. Best if you have an established broker and want control of the lane.
DDPWe arrange freight, clearance and delivery. Best for first-time importers or markets where the documentation is unfamiliar.
