If a quote uses DDU or DDP, ask for a plain-language explanation of the import clearance and duty responsibilities. The written scope should remove uncertainty about who acts and who pays.

What to confirm

Confirm the trade term and version with the contracting parties instead of relying on shorthand alone.

Prepare these details

• Agreed rule, version and named place or port
• Buyer and seller responsibilities in the sale agreement
• Origin and destination tasks included in the freight quote
• Responsible contacts for documents and operational handovers

Plan the next step with FDD
