DAP (Delivered at Place)
Delivered at Place means the seller bears costs and risk until the goods arrive at the named destination, ready for unloading from the arriving vehicle. The buyer unloads, clears import and pays duties and import taxes. DAP works for any mode and is common for door-to-door deliveries where the seller does not pay taxes. Name the exact destination address so that extra local charges do not end up in a dispute.
