FOB vs DDP Apparel Shipping
Incoterms basics for private-label apparel buyers shipping to US, UK, EU and AU.
FOB
Buyer controls main freight from the named port. Clear for experienced importers.
DDP
Seller arranges delivery duty paid to destination — simpler for first orders, priced accordingly.
What to confirm
Port, HS code assumptions, carton marks, and who handles duties/VAT.
ELEVIA
