US Customs Bond DDP Air Freight China USA Door Delivery Duty Paid Service Guide

Data: 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.

Conclusion: The quote behaves as a single landed cost with no customs follow-up owed by the consignee.

Data: 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.

Conclusion: A single accountable partner owns the whole chain, so the importer receives one closed invoice instead of a stack of hand-off documents.

Data: Under our DDP service, we are the importer of record, clearing the entry under our own continuous US customs bond. That means the bond, the duty, and the compliance obligation sit with us rather than the buyer. A foreign trading company, an overseas subsidiary, or a US consignee without a bond can all import lawfully because the bond is ours.

Conclusion: Making the forwarder the importer of record is what turns DDP from a shipping term into a genuine removal of the buyer's customs work.

Data: A single-entry bond covers one shipment, while a continuous bond covers all entries for a year and is the standard for regular DDP traffic. We clear under a continuous bond, so there is no per-shipment bond application, no waiting on a new bond, and no cost handed to the buyer for each consignment.

Conclusion: A continuous bond keeps repeat importers moving without recurring bond friction, which matters for restock and subscription-style B2B flows.

Data: The buyer avoids posting a bond, appointing a broker, preparing an entry, classifying goods, and paying duty at the door. Duty paid becomes literal: the tax position is closed before delivery, and the consignee simply signs for the goods.

Conclusion: For a B2B buyer testing the US market, the bond arrangement is the difference between shipping now and pausing to build import infrastructure first.

Data: A registered NVOCC and bonded forwarder carries defined accountability for carriage, clearance, and duty, so a shipment is never left unowned when conditions change. The buyer gains a verifiable counterpart, a single point of responsibility for the whole chain, and a compliance process that has already handled the commodity before. In nine years since 2017, this structure has kept examinations low and delivery dates predictable for repeat B2B shippers.

Conclusion: Registration and bonding are the difference between a promise and a guarantee, and they are worth checking before the first booking rather than after the first dispute.

Data: 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.

Conclusion: Correct packing at origin protects the cargo, avoids airline acceptance holds, and prevents an oversize or overweight surprise after the quote is approved.

Data: 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.

Conclusion: You provide an address; we provide a confirmed, duty-paid, tracked delivery to it.

Data: 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 marks before filing, which keeps our examination rate below the general average for the commodities we move.

Conclusion: An inspection can add a day or two but never becomes the consignee's problem.

Data: The reference door-to-door window is 7 to 12 days, with UPS delivery in 2 to 4 business days after clearance. 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.

Conclusion: For time-sensitive cargo, the air premium is predictable and, once landed cost is counted, narrower than it first appears against slower modes.

Data: 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.

Conclusion: Booking becomes a single exchange of facts, after which the importer input stops until a tracked delivery is confirmed at the destination door.
