Incoterms are standardized terms of trade for goods in international trade. By using standardized terms we hope to simplify what could be a quite complicated transaction. The Incoterms used in 2020 are:

• EXW (Ex Works)
• FCA (Free Carrier)
• CPT (Carriage Paid to)
• CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid To)
• DAP (Delivered at Place)
• DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded)
• DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)
• FAS (Free Alongside Ship)
• FOB (Free On Board)
• CFR (Cost and Freight)
• CIF (Cost Insurance and Freight)

We usually sell with either DAP or DDP. For more information on Incoterms visit the website of the International Chamber of Commerce.

DAP stands for Delivered at Place, which is one of the Incoterms® rules that define the responsibilities of sellers and buyers in international trade. When you choose DAP delivery, it means that we (Dinilu) will arrange and pay for the transportation of your goods to a specified destination, where you can unload them.

We will also take care of production, quality control, shipping and insurance.

You will be responsible for paying any import duties, taxes or fees that apply in your country, as well as unloading the goods from the vehicle.

You may receive two invoices: one from us for the goods you ordered and another from the logistics company for the import charges. You may also need to help with unloading if your shipment contains pallets or larger items.

Under the trade term DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), we (Dinilu) deliver the goods to the agreed address using one of our logistics partners.

We are responsible for production, quality control, shipping, insurance, import clearance, and any applicable duties.

You are responsible for unloading the goods at the delivery address.

In practice, you will only receive one invoice from us for the goods ordered. Assistance with unloading is usually only necessary for shipments containing pallets or larger items.

We prefer to deliver under these terms, but this is only practical where we have a local presence. This currently limits us to the single market of the European Union (EU).
