DDP Sea Freight from China to the UAE
DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid. For China-to-UAE sea freight, Mizan can prepare a DDP quotation that states who is responsible for collection, freight, customs clearance, duties, taxes and delivery — and what is excluded. Qualifying like-for-like written China-to-UAE DDP sea freight quotations can also be reviewed under our 5% price-beat offer.
What DDP Sea Freight Includes
DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid. In a China-to-UAE DDP sea freight quotation, the responsibilities for getting the goods from your supplier to the named UAE destination — including import clearance, duties and taxes — are set out in one quotation.
What is actually included depends on the agreed scope. A DDP quotation from Mizan identifies the collection point, the destination, the services included and any exclusions, so you know what the figure covers before you book. It is not a promise that every possible charge is included regardless of scope.
Collection and Consolidation
Mizan collects goods from supplier locations across China. Orders from more than one supplier can be consolidated into one DDP shipment, planned around each supplier’s readiness date — see supplier consolidation. Share each pickup address, readiness date and package details with your enquiry.
Container Arrangement and Loading
Depending on volume, DDP sea cargo can travel in a shared container (LCL) or a container allocated to your shipment (FCL).
Three business days — what it covers
Customs, Duties and Delivery
On arrival, Mizan clears the cargo directly at Khor Fakkan, then arranges unloading and delivery to the named UAE destination. Under DDP, the quotation states how applicable import duties and taxes are handled. Tell us about access restrictions or unloading requirements at the delivery address so the final leg is quoted correctly.
What Your Quotation Must State
Before booking, check that a DDP sea freight quotation clearly states:
| Item | What to look for |

| Cargo | Goods description, package count, dimensions and weight the price is based on |
| Collection | Supplier pickup address or addresses in China |

| Included services | Collection, freight, clearance, duties, taxes, unloading and delivery as applicable |
