DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) door-to-door service is a mature logistics solution widely adopted in the industry. Though the DDU trade term was officially abolished in 2010 and replaced by the standard DAP (Delivered At Place) term, it is still commonly used in cross-border logistics business due to long-standing industry conventions.
This service features clear business responsibilities and access rules. Anshida takes full charge of China export customs declaration, cross-border transportation and final door-to-door delivery.

Foreign trade enterprises mainly choose this service for three core reasons. About 90% of clients opt for it for tax compliance. Mostly large state-owned and high-volume enterprises, they declare goods at a relatively high value in compliance with regulations to obtain valid input vouchers for matching sales output and coping with local tax bureau inspections. In addition, leveraging our professional customs experience, we help clients reduce tax costs through reasonable and legal low-value declaration. A small number of local enterprises adopt this service to obtain import customs declaration documents for tax refund applications.
To proceed with the service, clients are required to provide three core documents: Certificate of Origin (COO), packing list, and commercial invoice, to ensure smooth and efficient customs clearance.
