Air Truck DDP US Customs Bond China USA Door Delivery Duty Paid Customs Cleared
Air Truck DDP US Customs Bond air plus truck DDP cleared under our own US customs bond. Air plus truck DDP suits B2B buyers who need speed without parcel-only pricing, and the 7 to 12 day door-to-door window keeps schedules firm. We handle supplier pickup, export declaration, air uplift, US import clearance, duty and tax settlement and the truck final mile, clearing under our own continuous US customs bond, so the seller keeps one landed cost and no customs work, and the consignee prepares no clearance documents.
What "Double Clearance, Tax Included" Means
Double clearance means two customs events handled end to end: export declaration in China plus import clearance in the United States. Tax included means we advance and settle all applicable US import duties and taxes as importer of record. In one flat rate that is three bundled actions: export declaration, import clearance and duty payment.
The quote behaves as a single landed cost with no customs follow-up owed by the consignee.
One-Stop Door-to-Door: Air Leg, Truck Leg, Duty, Delivery
Scope runs from the supplier factory gate to the consignee door: pickup and packing check, air uplift from a Chinese gateway, export declaration, US import clearance, duty and tax settlement under our customs bond, airport handling, and a truck final-mile delivery. That replaces the four to six vendors an importer normally coordinates, and every stage is tracked under one reference number.
A single accountable partner owns the whole chain, so the importer receives one closed invoice instead of a stack of hand-off documents.
Transit Time and Cost Structure
The reference door-to-door window is 7 to 12 days, with the truck final mile in 2 to 4 business days after clearance and 3 to 6 business days for remote ZIP codes. Pricing is charged on the greater of actual or volumetric weight, typically USD 6.5 to 9.5 per kilogram all-in DDP depending on commodity, season and delivery zone. Because duty and import tax sit inside the rate, the price behaves like a landed cost.
For time-sensitive cargo the air-plus-truck premium is predictable and, once landed cost is counted, narrower than it first appears against slower modes.
Air Leg plus Truck Final Mile
The shipment flies from a Chinese gateway to the US entry airport, clears customs under DDP, then transfers to the truck leg for the door. Parcel-sized cartons finish on UPS in 2 to 4 business days, while palletised or oversize freight moves on dedicated road freight with liftgate. Air carries the value-dense volume; the truck carries the bulk.
Splitting air and truck is what keeps both speed and cost under control on mixed loads.
One-Stop Clearance and Documentation
We file the China export declaration, the US import entry and ISF, act as importer of record and settle duty and tax, and assemble the commercial invoice, packing list and air waybill with any permits the goods require. The buyer provides only a product list and a delivery address.
Documentation and clearance sit with us, so the consignee prepares nothing.
Customs Inspection and Door Delivery
Inspections are covered by this service and managed by our US team, and we absorb the standard coordination cost so no examination invoice reaches the importer. A pre-filing review of classification, valuation and permits keeps our examination rate below the general average.
An inspection can add a day or two but never becomes the consignee's problem.
Product Focus: Air Truck DDP with a US Customs Bond
We act as importer of record under our own continuous US customs bond, so a foreign seller needs no US entity or bond to import DDP. The bond backs every entry we file on your behalf.
Our customs bond removes the need for the buyer to post security.
Packing and Handling Standards
Packing is tuned to the commodity and the journey: export-grade cartons or pallets, corner and edge protection, shock and moisture control, and clear handling marks. Every carton is weighed and dimensioned at pickup, so the booked rate, the aircraft selection and the final-mile service match the actual shipment rather than an estimate.
Correct packing at origin protects the cargo, avoids airline acceptance holds and prevents an oversize or overweight surprise after the quote is approved.
What the Consignee Prepares: Almost Nothing
Beyond a correct delivery address and a contact, nothing. The consignee does not file a customs entry, does not appoint a broker, does not post a bond and does not pay duty at the door. We assemble the commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill and entry documents.
You provide an address; we provide a confirmed, duty-paid, tracked delivery to it.
The Door-to-Door DDP Process
1. Origin consolidation. We collect from your supplier, check packing and consolidate cartons or pallets at the Chinese gateway.
2. Export declaration. We file the export customs declaration and release the cargo for uplift.
3. Air main leg. The shipment flies on confirmed space from a Chinese gateway to the US entry airport.
4. US import clearance. Our licensed broker files the entry and ISF, classifies the goods and releases them from customs.
5. Duty and tax settlement. We pay all applicable duties and import taxes as importer of record under our customs bond.
6. Truck pickup. The cleared freight is tendered to the truck final mile, on UPS for parcels or on dedicated road freight for pallets.
7. Delivery and signature. The carrier completes the final mile and captures proof of delivery.
Booking, Documentation and Payment
A quote requires the product description, HS context where known, gross weight, dimensions, declared value and the exact delivery address. Documentation is prepared by our team and includes the commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill and entry papers. Payment is accepted by T/T, PayPal, Western Union or Bank Transfer.
Booking becomes a single exchange of facts, after which the importer input stops until a tracked delivery is confirmed at the destination door.
Tracking and Proof of Delivery
One reference number follows the cargo from supplier pickup to the signed delivery. Positions update at gateway handover, uplift, US clearance, truck tender and final delivery, and the proof-of-delivery record closes the file with the duty already paid.
A single tracked reference and a stored proof of delivery make the landed shipment fully auditable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is duty really included?
Yes. The quoted DDP air truck rate includes duty and import tax; the number you approve is the number you pay for the delivery described.
Do I need a US company or customs bond?
No. We clear as importer of record under our own customs bond, so a foreign seller or a consignee without a US entity can import without extra setup.
Can you deliver to Amazon FBA?
Yes, across all 50 states, with appointment and labelling rules followed where the facility requires them.
What if I have my own bond?
We can clear under your bond on request, but the default is ours.
