Understanding DDP (Delivered Duties Paid)

When you choose DHL with DDP service, UPTab collects all duties, taxes, and import fees during checkout.
This means:

  • You pay the full amount upfront, with no additional charges at delivery.

  • DHL handles customs clearance directly, ensuring faster release from customs.

  • You receive your order without delays, invoices, or unexpected costs.

In short:

DDP = No Surprises, Faster Delivery.

⚙️ Customs, Duties & Taxes

  • For non-DDP shipments (USPS, UPS, FedEx Standard), local customs authorities may require you to pay VAT, GST, or import duties before releasing the package.

  • Customs policies differ by country, and UPTab has no control over local import fees.

  • If you decline to pay customs fees, your package may be returned or destroyed by the carrier — in such cases, shipping charges are non-refundable.
