What Is the Difference Between a Shipping Method and an Incoterm for Activewear Orders?
SHIPPING DECISION
Choose a transport method, then agree the Incoterm.
Air freight and sea freight describe how goods are transported. DDP, or Delivered Duty Paid, is an Incoterm that defines the agreed responsibilities for carriage, import clearance, duties, taxes, and delivery to the named destination.
Sea freight
Is often more cost-efficient for larger-volume orders when the delivery schedule allows more transit time.
DDP
May be used with air, sea, courier, or multimodal transport when the seller can legally and practically arrange the agreed import and delivery responsibilities.
They are not three mutually exclusive choices
A buyer normally chooses a transport method and then agrees the applicable Incoterm. For example, an activewear order can move by air freight under DDP if the agreed destination and import arrangements support that term.
Confirm DDP responsibilities before shipment
Before confirming DDP, the parties should verify the destination-country requirements, the named delivery place, customs-clearance responsibilities, tax and duty treatment, and whether the seller or its appointed logistics provider can complete the required import formalities.
