What do DAP and DDP mean?

These terms are used for shipments outside the European Union or to French overseas departments and territories. Shipments to these destinations may be subject to duties and taxes, depending on the import destination's duty-free thresholds.

DAP stands for ‘Delivered At Place’. This is the default Incoterm. In this context, it is the consignee who pays the duties and taxes on delivery.

DDP stands for ‘Delivered Duty Paid’. As the sender, you can choose this option when creating your transport label for Colissimo Domicile with signature shipments (International or Overseas). With DDP, the sender pays the import duties and taxes. The sender has the option of integrating them into the order tunnel. In this way, e-buyers are fully aware of the price of their purchase and there are no unpleasant surprises on delivery. Find out more about the DDP option.
