The Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping is very important for the shipping from China to Amazon FBA, which is be asked by Amazon .
Amazon will not be responsible for or collect any duties, taxes or shipping costs associated with FBA inventory. All shipments are required to use Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), or sometimes referred to as “Free Domicile,” shipping terms. Any shipment arriving at an Amazon fulfillment center with collect charges, including any duties, taxes or shipping costs, will be refused without further concession.
Broadly speaking, Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) means that the seller delivers the goods when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer, cleared for import on the arriving means of transport, and ready for unloading at the named place of delivery.
For Amazon sellers to purchase in China, the entire process is usually composed of goods manufacturers, Amazon sellers and transportation companies. It is impossible for the manufacturer to provide transportation services. Even if the manufacturer said that they will ship from China to the amazon FBA warehouse, they are also employed by the a third-party transportation company. Therefore, the DDP service for FBA transportation is not provided by the manufacturer, but by the transportation company.

In most cases, the shipping company that provides the DDP service will handle the whole delivery process.
