Simplifying Overseas Sourcing with DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Door-to-Door Delivery
Importing custom paper packaging from overseas factories does not require managing complex international maritime logistics or border customs clearance. For brands seeking a seamless procurement process, DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping eliminates logistical burdens by consolidating freight, tariffs, and local trucking into a single service.
At Gerun Packaging, we manage end-to-end logistics solutions, delivering finished packaging directly to your warehouse destination worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Do I need an import license or customs broker to receive a DDP shipment?
No. Under DDP terms, our logistics partner acts as the importer of record to manage customs clearance and pay import duties, allowing you to receive packaging without an import license.
Q2: What is the difference between FOB (Free on Board) and DDP terms?
Under FOB, our responsibility ends once goods are loaded onto the vessel at the export port; you manage ocean transit, insurance, and import clearance. Under DDP, we manage the complete shipping journey directly to your door.
Q3: Are import duties and tariffs included in a DDP quotation?
Yes. A formal DDP quote includes total unit manufacturing costs, international freight charges, destination port handling, customs duties, tariffs, and final mile truck delivery with zero surprise add-ons.
Q4: Can you ship custom packaging directly to Amazon FBA fulfillment centers?
Yes. We routinely deliver DDP shipments directly to Amazon FBA warehouses, ensuring packages comply with Amazon pallet height limits, carton weight restrictions, and FBA box label requirements.
Q5: How are packaging shipments tracked during ocean transit?
Once your container is loaded and cleared for export, we provide a master Bill of Lading (BOL) container tracking number, allowing real-time tracking of your shipment across sea transit and port arrival.
