Article 17 - DAP -Delivered at Place
DAP – Delivered At Place (named place of destination)[edit]
Incoterms 2010 defines DAP as 'Delivered at Place' - the seller delivers when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport ready for unloading at the named place of destination. Under DAP terms, the risk passes from seller to buyer from the point of destination mentioned in the contract of delivery.
Once goods are ready for shipment, the necessary packing is carried out by the seller at his own cost, so that the goods reach their final destination safely. All necessary legal formalities in the exporting country are completed by the seller at his own cost and risk to clear the goods for export.
After arrival of the goods in the country of destination, the customs clearance in the importing country needs to be completed by the buyer at his own cost and risk, including all customs duties and taxes. However, as with DAT terms any delay or demurrage charges are to be borne by the seller. Even when customs decide to destroy an order the loss for this cannot be refunded by the seller.
For customers from the United Kingdom please note that custome fees will be charged due to the Brexit regulations. If you ignore this, your package will be destroyed by customs or returned to us at a cost. these costs are for your expenses.
Under DAP terms, all carriage expenses with any terminal expenses are paid by seller up to the agreed destination point. The necessary unloading cost at final destination has to be borne by buyer under DAP terms. [13] [1
Article 18 Customs
When a parcel is not allowed by customs or destroyed it will be your responsibility and we do not refund or resend an order when it is destroyed by customs. A customer needs to know regulations from his own country.
Please note: customs may open and examine packages. We are not liable for the consequences of this.
