What is DDP Shipping and Why It Matters for Your Small Business

DDP, or Delivered Duty Paid, is an Incoterm where the seller (or their designated forwarder, like Xinghang) assumes all responsibilities and costs associated with shipping goods until they reach the buyer’s specified destination. This includes transportation costs, export and import customs clearance, and all applicable duties and taxes.

Key Benefits of DDP for Canadian Small Businesses:

📏 Calculation Rules for Canada Shipments:

Table of Contents

  • Currency: All prices are quoted in RMB (CNY). We recommend using a real-time currency converter for current CAD equivalents.
  • Sea Freight (CBM): 1 CBM (cubic meter) is estimated at 400 KG. A minimum charge of 1 CBM applies (the first CBM price rate).
  • Air Freight: Chargeable weight is calculated as the higher of actual weight or volume weight (Length × Width × Height in cm / 6000).

Transparent Pricing: Real-World Examples for DDP China to Canada

Here are some examples to illustrate our DDP pricing for shipments from China to various locations in Canada. These examples are based on our current rates and include DDP (taxes and duties included).
