I. Customs Clearance & Delivery Modes (DDP / DDU, available nationwide in Germany)

The whole line supports double customs clearance for Germany, offering two mainstream customs clearance modes to cover full-scenario delivery demands including e-commerce stock preparation, private delivery and corporate consignee receipt in Germany:

1. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Covers customs clearance, duties and all related taxes. Customers do not need to handle local German customs procedures or pay any destination-country taxes. One-stop service until goods are signed for, hassle-free and efficient.

2. DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): Provides double customs clearance in Germany plus nationwide last-mile delivery. Duties, VAT and other taxes arising in the destination country shall be borne by the consignee. Suitable for enterprises conducting self-declaration and tax deferral compliance.

3. Core delivery scenarios: Supports dedicated delivery to mainstream overseas e-commerce warehouses such as Amazon FBA, FBC, 4PL and GoodCang in Germany. It also covers local corporate addresses, private residences, non-e-commerce warehouses and other addresses across Germany with no blind spots in delivery scenarios.

VII. Service Notes

1. Germany enjoys high stability in local customs clearance with no regular risk of secondary customs clearance. Only for cargo transiting via some EU countries, there is a minimal possibility of secondary customs clearance. If secondary customs clearance occurs, all resulting fees including customs clearance charges and return & redelivery fees shall be borne by the customer.

2. For shipments under DDU mode, customers must provide valid self-owned VAT and EORI numbers. If tax deferral is required, full compliant documents must be submitted in strict accordance with our requirements. Orders without prepaid duties will be charged a 3% duty handling fee.

3. Tax deferral service is not 100% guaranteed for approval. If deferral application fails, clearance will automatically switch to duty payment on the spot. Final tax amount is subject to the German customs tax invoice. The tax number for deferral must be identical to the declared tax number; product sales links must precisely match the VAT number and shall not be modified arbitrarily before customs clearance. For DDU shipments and PVA tax-deferred goods, any inspection fees arising from customs inspection will be charged at actual cost. Do not place orders if you cannot accept this rule.

4. We shall not be liable for compensation of lead time delays caused by force majeure, including but not limited to cancelled flights/vessels/trains, port congestion, extreme weather, customs inspections at home and abroad, policy adjustments and other factors.
