COHO door-to-door logistics

Importing from China to the US? DDP vs DAP can make or break your bottom line.

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) — COHO handles everything: shipping, customs clearance, duties, and final delivery. Best for first-time importers.

DAP (Delivered at Place) — buyer handles customs and duties. Lower price, higher risk.

For chemical, cosmetic, and supplement imports, DDP is the safer choice.
