What does DDP mean for shipping from China to Mexico?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means Xinghang Freight Forwarding takes full responsibility for your shipment from China to Mexico. This includes export customs, international transport, import customs clearance in Mexico, payment of all duties and taxes, and final delivery to your specified address, providing you with a single, all-inclusive cost.

How are shipping costs calculated for DDP freight to Mexico?

Shipping costs for DDP freight to Mexico are calculated based on the chosen service (Air or Sea), the weight (KG) or volume (CBM) of your cargo, and whether you opt for warehouse pickup or door-to-door delivery. For air freight, chargeable weight is the higher of actual or volume weight. For sea freight LCL, it's by CBM, and for small packages, it's by KG. All DDP rates include customs duties and taxes.

What is the transit time for DDP shipping from China to Mexico?

Transit times vary by service. Air freight from China to Mexico typically takes 9-15 days for door-to-door delivery. Sea freight (both small package/KG and LCL/CBM) generally takes longer, with an estimated transit time of 35-45 days.

Can I ship items with built-in batteries or branded goods via DDP to Mexico?

Yes, our sea freight channels to Mexico accept products with built-in batteries. For branded items or replicas, special handling and a custom quote from our customer service team are required due to specific import regulations and intellectual property considerations. Please contact us for details.

What's the difference between warehouse pickup and door-to-door delivery rates in Mexico?

Warehouse pickup rates are base prices where you collect your cargo from our designated Mexico warehouse after DDP clearance. Door-to-door delivery adds an extra fee for local transportation from the warehouse to your specified final address. For small packages (KG), this is a flat $500 MXN per package. For LCL (CBM), the local truck delivery fee is quoted upon address confirmation.
