Question 1

What is the difference between FOB and DDP shipping?

Accepted Answer

Under FOB (Free On Board), the seller delivers goods onto the vessel at the origin port and the buyer takes responsibility for ocean freight, insurance, US customs clearance, duties and inland delivery. Under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), one party manages the entire journey, including import duties and taxes, and delivers the cargo to the final address. Asiana USA helps importers convert FOB purchases into a DDP-style, door-to-door service with one landed cost.
