DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid):

This typically corresponds to “DAP (Delivered at Place)” or “DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid).” The freight forwarder is only responsible for transporting the goods to the specified port or warehouse in Saudi Arabia. Import customs clearance procedures and tax payments must be handled by the buyer. The buyer needs to independently coordinate with a local customs broker, prepare compliant documentation, and bear the risks and costs associated with customs clearance delays and tax fluctuations.

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid):

This is essentially equivalent to “DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)” in international trade terms. The freight forwarder handles all export customs declarations and Saudi import clearance procedures and prepays all applicable taxes and fees, such as import duties and value-added tax (VAT). The goods are ultimately delivered safely to the buyer’s designated location. Throughout the process, the seller does not need to intervene in customs clearance or tax matters, and the buyer does not incur any additional costs.
