DDP shipping for eBay and Etsy sellers
When the quote names DDP, the buyer is not billed destination duty or tax. DAP bills the buyer. The calculator is the price.

Who this is for
- eBay and Etsy sellers in Thailand who quote a landed price to the buyer
- Sellers who need the buyer to receive the parcel without a duty or tax bill
Who it is not for
- Orders where the calculator shows DAP only. Those destination charges are billed to the buyer
- FCL or LCL sea freight. Express Sea DDP is a parcel product on the calculator, not a container
How to decide
- 1
List the item on eBay or Etsy with the destination country your buyer will use
- 2
Run that country, weight, and size in the shipping calculator
- 3
Use a DDP product only when the quote line names DDP
- 4
If the quote is DAP, tell the buyer that destination duty and tax are extra
Key facts
- DDP means destination duty and tax are in the prepaid quote. The buyer is not billed those charges when the booked product is DDP.
- DAP delivers the parcel, then the buyer pays destination duty, tax, and any brokerage.
- The sheet checked 22 October 2026 lists 63 DDP destinations: 36 on Prime DDP (6-9 business days) and 28 on Flex DDP (9-15 business days). Priority DDP is Canada and the United States (5-7 business days). Express Sea DDP is Australia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
- The quote must name DDP for that commodity. A DAP line does not become DDP because the listing said shipping was included.

Frequently asked questions
Not when the booked Thai Nexus quote names DDP. Destination duty and tax are in that prepaid price. If the quote says DAP, the buyer can still be billed after delivery.
The calculator sheet checked 22 October 2026 lists 63 DDP destinations. Prime DDP is 36 countries at 6-9 business days. Flex DDP is 28 countries at 9-15 business days. Priority DDP is Canada and the United States at 5-7 business days. The full list is on the DAP vs DDP guide. Book only the product the quote names.
DAP leaves destination duty and tax to the consignee unless you arrange payment separately. DDP includes those charges only when the product supports it for that lane and commodity. Importers often prefer DDP for predictable landed cost. Confirm the Incoterm line on the Thai Nexus quote before paying.
Parcels and door-to-door air from 0.5 kg for retail boxes under courier limits. Airline AWB cargo for heavier or palletised freight. LCL sea from 1 CBM when time allows weeks in transit. Thai Nexus can palletise cartons at Hua Hin or Bangkok before LCL. The calculator and quote confirm on your stack.
Yes on many express parcel lanes when the live calculator returns a DDP product for your destination and commodity. As of 22 October 2026 the rate sheet lists 63 DDP destinations: 36 on Prime DDP, 28 on Flex DDP (the European list, plus Norway and Switzerland), and Priority DDP for Canada and the United States. Express Sea DDP covers Australia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Taiwan. The quote line must name DDP and show duty and tax included. Otherwise treat the shipment as DAP. See the DAP vs DDP decision guide for the full destination list.
Splitting separate genuine orders shipped on different days can be lawful. Structuring one order into multiple parcels to evade duty is not. Customs authorities link by consignee and value patterns. Thai Nexus refuses undervaluation on export declarations.
Lane pages publish indicative sea FCL, air and express bands by destination country. Destination pages cover duty and VAT, not ocean freight. Express parcels use the live calculator. All bands are indicative until a binding quote confirms space and date.
Destination guides on this site, not lane pages. VAT rate, de minimis and worked examples sit with customs sources. Lane pages cover freight cost and transit only. Use both pages together for landed cost.
Greater of actual weight and volumetric weight (volume cm3 / 6000 for most air cargo). Couriers use their own divisors on express. The calculator shows volumetric on parcel quotes. Heavy dense cargo pays actual; light bulky cargo pays volume.
The Thai exporter of record or licensed forwarder files through e-Customs before cargo exits. When Thai Nexus is origin forwarder, our team files; you supply invoice and consignee data. Incorrect HS codes or values delay clearance and risk penalties.
Match who pays freight, insurance and destination duty to your commercial agreement. ExWorks, FOB, CIF, DAP and DDP mean different risk transfer points. This guide explains trade-offs for Thailand-origin exports. The quote line must name the chosen term.
Break-even is often around 12 to 15 CBM on deep-sea lanes. Below that, LCL quoted on request usually costs less total. Above it, FCL container rates per CBM fall. Use the FCL vs LCL volume tool with your measurements, then confirm on quote.
