Air Freight DDP Toys Games China USA Door Delivery Duty Paid Customs Cleared

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.

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 UPS 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.

The reference door-to-door window is 7 to 12 days, with UPS delivery 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 premium is predictable and, once landed cost is counted, narrower than it first appears against slower modes.

Categories with short product cycles, seasonal peaks or stock-out risk favour air because the air premium is small against the cost of a lost ranking or an empty listing. Air freight also cuts the cash tied up in transit, so capital cycles faster. For launches and replenishment the 7 to 12 day door-to-door window often beats a sea schedule by weeks, and the duty-paid DDP structure keeps the landed cost fixed so margin stays predictable.

Where speed protects revenue and ranking, air freight is the correct lane, and DDP keeps its cost fully transparent.

Age grading and small-parts warnings matter for compliance, and any electronic or battery toy follows PI967 rules with a UN38.3 summary. Plush, board games and plastic sets move as general cargo. A children's-product safety statement is prepared where the destination expects one.

Screening age grade and battery content before uplift is what keeps a toy shipment compliant and on schedule.

The commercial invoice, packing list and air waybill, plus a battery summary and MSDS for electronic toys and a children's-product safety statement where applicable. Customs entry and ISF are filed by us as importer of record.

Complete documentation at booking protects both airline acceptance and US customs release for toys.

Cartons are labelled to the FBA shipment plan and delivered to the assigned FC. UPS caps a package near 150 pounds (68 kg), 108 inches in length and 165 inches in length plus girth; oversize playsets move as freight.

Standard toy cartons deliver normally, and oversize cases are converted to freight before booking.

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.

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.

Inspections are a normal part of importing and are covered by this service. Examinations are managed by our US team, and we absorb the standard coordination cost so the importer receives no extra examination invoice. A pre-submission review checks classification, valuation and the category-specific compliance point before filing, which keeps our examination rate below the general average for the commodities we move.

An inspection can add a day or two but never becomes the consignee problem.

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.
