Who pays duties at the border. Filter the claim. Distinct from landed COGS and WISMO tracking. We invent no duty %.
| Claim | Reality | Do | Do not |
|---|---|---|---|
| DDU is free for the merchant | No. Refusals, returns, and disputes come back as cash | Price refusal risk or switch to DDP | Call DDU a pure savings |
| Buyer always expects duties on DDU | No. Surprise at the door drives refusal | Clear pre-checkout duty copy — or DDP | Ship silent DDU after a DDP ad |
| Duty % is a universal public chip | No. We invent none. Quote the lane / HS code | Broker or carrier duty estimate for this SKU | Paste a forum duty percent into COGS |
| This map is landed COGS | No. Landed COGS types product cost stack. This map is Incoterm / who pays border | N/A — open landed-cogs for unit cost | Skip Incoterm because COGS is typed |
| Customs hold = fight as not-received with 3DS | No. Prove location / release. 3DS does not clear customs | Carrier / customs status before representment | Paste auth logs into a customs refusal |
| Amazon A-to-z rules apply to my DTC DDU | No. A-to-z is Amazon’s door. This is your Incoterm | N/A — open amazon-a-to-z for marketplace claims | Paste Seller Central policy onto DTC DDU |
Filter the claim. DDP prepays the border. DDU leaves duties to the buyer — and refusal risk to you. Type real duty quotes; we invent none.
