1688 DDP Shipping to USA | Cost, Customs & Door Delivery

Buying products from 1688 is often only the beginning of the import process.

After you have selected the supplier and paid for the products, you still need to answer a much more practical question:

How can the goods move from the 1688 supplier in China all the way to my address in the United States—with customs, duty and delivery coordinated under one shipping plan?

For many importers, the answer is **1688 DDP shipping to the USA**.

1688 Shipping to USA China Warehouse, Consolidation & DDP Door Delivery

Under a properly structured DDP service, the logistics chain can include:

1688 Supplier → China Warehouse → Consolidation → China Export Customs → International Freight → U.S. Customs Clearance → Duty Coordination → Inland Transportation → Final Door Delivery

CHINA BRF LOGISTICS can receive products purchased from 1688 through its China warehouse and consolidation network, with coordinated receiving through:

**Qingdao · Shanghai · Yiwu · Shenzhen**

and arrange suitable transportation to U.S. destinations using:

– Small parcel
– Air freight
– LCL sea freight
– 20GP
– 40GP
– 40HQ
– Oversized cargo
– Door-to-door transportation
– Eligible DDP delivery

For larger commercial cargo, BRF can connect warehouse receiving with FCL and LCL sea freight from China, while U.S.-bound cargo can be planned through the dedicated Spedizioni dalla Cina agli Stati Uniti route hub.

If you first need help understanding the overall 1688 logistics process, read our 1688 International Shipping Guide.

# What Does DDP Mean When Shipping from 1688 to USA?

DDP means:

**Delivered Duty Paid**

It is an Incoterm used to describe a transaction where the seller or responsible party under the agreed DDP structure assumes the broadest delivery responsibility up to the named destination.

For a logistics service coordinated through BRF, a DDP-style shipment can include:

– China supplier pickup
– China warehouse receiving
– Multi-supplier consolidation
– Export packaging
– China export customs clearance
– International transportation
– U.S. customs clearance
– Applicable import-duty arrangement
– Destination transportation
– Final delivery

For a broader explanation of DDP, DDU/DAP and other door-delivery structures, see the BRF Door-to-Door, DDU & DDP Shipping Service.

The exact service scope must always be confirmed in the quotation.

Do not assume that every quotation marked:

Door-to-Door

automatically means:

DDP

Door delivery can also be arranged under other terms where the importer remains responsible for duty or tax.

# 1688 DDP Shipping Process from China to USA

A typical shipment works like this:

### Step 1 — Purchase from 1688

The buyer selects and pays one or more suppliers.

### Step 2 — Send the Goods to a BRF China Warehouse

Depending on supplier locations, BRF can coordinate receiving through:

– Qingdao
– Shanghai
– Yiwu
– Shenzhen

See the China Warehouse & Logistics Services page for BRF warehouse locations, consolidation, repacking and labeling options.

### Step 3 — Warehouse Receiving

Cargo can be received and processed according to the agreed warehouse service.

### Step 4 — Consolidation

Compatible shipments from several suppliers can be combined.

For buyers sourcing from several 1688 factories, the China warehouse network can act as a centralized receiving point before export.

### Step 5 — Confirm Cargo Information

Before preparing a final DDP quotation, BRF needs accurate:

– Commodity
– HS / HTS code
– Value
– Weight
– CBM
– Package dimensions
– Destination ZIP code

### Step 6 — China Export Customs

The cargo is prepared for legal export from China.

BRF also connects warehouse cargo with its broader China Export Logistics & Global Shipping network.

### Step 7 — International Transportation

The cargo moves by:

– Air
– LCL
– FCL
– Special cargo transportation

depending on size and urgency.

Commercial ocean cargo can be planned through BRF’s Sea Freight from China service.

### Step 8 — U.S. Import Clearance

The required entry and customs procedures are coordinated.

### Step 9 — Duty and Import-Cost Arrangement

Applicable duty and other import charges are handled according to the confirmed DDP service structure.

### Step 10 — Final U.S. Delivery

The cargo moves to the agreed:

– Residence
– Commercial warehouse
– Distribution center
– Office
– Project site
– Prep warehouse
– Other commercial address

For nationwide U.S. routing, customs, drayage and inland delivery options, also see China to North America Shipping.

# How Much Does 1688 DDP Shipping to USA Cost?

There is no universal:

1688 DDP shipping price

or:

1688 DDP price per kilogram

that can accurately apply to every shipment.

A proper DDP cost is made up of several different parts.

The basic calculation is:

China Pickup
+ Warehouse Handling
+ Consolidation
+ Export Charges
+ International Freight
+ U.S. Customs Clearance
+ Import Duty / Applicable Additional Duties
+ Destination Handling
+ Inland Transportation
+ Final Delivery

This means two products with exactly the same weight can have completely different DDP costs.

Ad esempio:

A shipment of **500 kg of small hardware** may use one customs classification and occupy only a small volume.

A shipment of **500 kg of furniture** may occupy many cubic meters.

The gross weight is identical.

The logistics cost is not.

—

# 1. China Domestic Pickup Cost

The first cost is getting the products from the 1688 supplier to the designated warehouse or export point.

The price depends on:

– Supplier city
– Distance
– Number of cartons
– Weight
– Cargo dimensions
– Required truck type
– Loading conditions

If the supplier already offers inexpensive domestic shipping to the BRF warehouse, that may be the easiest solution.

Otherwise, BRF can evaluate China domestic pickup as part of its China freight-forwarding services.

—

# 2. China Warehouse Receiving Cost

Warehouse services can vary according to what you need.

Possible operations include:

– Receiving
– Package counting
– Measuring
– Weighing
– Receiving photos
– Storage
– Repacking
– Labeling
– Palletizing
– Consolidation
– Container loading

The more handling required, the more warehouse cost may be involved.

For simple shipments, suppliers may send export-ready cartons that require relatively little handling.

For complex 1688 orders from ten different suppliers, more sorting and consolidation may be required.

See BRF China Warehouse for information on receiving, packaging, labeling and consolidation.

—

# 3. Multi-Supplier Consolidation Cost

Many 1688 customers do not purchase from only one company.

Esempio:

**Supplier A — Zhejiang**

10 cartons.

**Supplier B — Jiangsu**

6 cartons.

**Supplier C — Guangdong**

15 cartons.

**Supplier D — Shandong**

8 cartons.

Instead of arranging four international shipments, the cargo can be brought into one coordinated consolidation plan.

Ad esempio:

**1688 Suppliers → BRF Warehouse → Consolidation → One International Shipment → USA**

This can reduce duplicated international handling and make the overall shipment easier to manage.

BRF’s China warehouse service is designed for this type of multi-supplier receiving and export preparation.

—

# 4. Export Handling and China Customs Cost

Commercial cargo leaving China may require export procedures and documentation.

The process can include:

– Commercial invoice review
– Packing list review
– Export declaration
– Customs documentation
– Shipping instructions
– Bill of lading preparation
– Origin terminal handling

BRF coordinates export-clearance support as part of its China Export Logistics services.

—

# 5. International Freight Cost

This is often one of the largest parts of the quotation.

The international freight cost depends strongly on the shipping method.

## Small Parcel

Usually calculated around:

– Package weight
– Chargeable weight
– Product category
– Destination
– Selected shipping channel

## Air Freight

Air freight generally uses:

**actual weight**

or:

**volumetric / chargeable weight**

whichever applies under the selected freight rules.

## LCL Sea Freight

LCL pricing is influenced heavily by:

– CBM
– Weight
– Origin warehouse
– Destination port
– Deconsolidation charges
– Final delivery location

For consolidated commercial cargo, see BRF LCL Sea Freight.

## FCL Sea Freight

Full-container pricing is based more around:

– 20GP
– 40GP
– 40HQ
– Origin port
– Destination port
– Shipping line
– Sailing week
– Equipment availability

For larger 1688 purchases, FCL may offer a much better cost structure than sending individual cartons internationally.

BRF’s Servizio di trasporto marittimo covers FCL, LCL, 20GP, 40GP, 40HQ and special cargo.

—

# 6. U.S. Customs Clearance Cost

When commercial products enter the United States, customs entry must be prepared correctly.

Information can include:

– Importer details
– Seller
– Buyer
– Manufacturer
– Country of origin
– Commodity description
– HTS classification
– Customs value
– Quantity
– Shipping documents
– Applicable duty
– Possible additional tariffs

The fact that a product was purchased on 1688 does not change normal U.S. customs requirements.

U.S. Customs evaluates the actual merchandise.

Therefore, do not describe the cargo simply as:

1688 goods

Use the real product name.

Ad esempio:

**Aluminum Fence Panels**

**Polyester Woven Fabric**

**Stainless Steel Kitchen Tools**

**Commercial Furniture**

**Industrial Machinery Parts**

For the full transportation structure after customs entry, see Spedizioni dalla Cina agli Stati Uniti.

—

# 1688 Import Duty to USA: How Is It Calculated?

There is no single:

1688 import duty rate

because 1688 sells millions of different products.

The applicable tariff treatment depends on the actual product.

A simplified customs-duty calculation starts with:

Customs Value × Applicable Duty Rate

But imports from China may also be affected by additional trade measures depending on the product and current regulations.

This is why two products with the same purchase value can produce completely different duty costs.

—

# HTS Code: The Key to Calculating U.S. Import Duty

The United States uses the:

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States — HTSUS

Each product should be classified under the appropriate HTS code.

The classification can determine:

– General customs duty
– Section 301 applicability
– Other additional tariff measures
– Antidumping issues
– Countervailing-duty issues
– Product-specific requirements

For example, the correct classification can depend on:

– Material
– Construction
– Function
– Composition
– Product form
– Intended use

Do not assume that your 1688 supplier’s Chinese HS code is automatically identical to the final U.S. HTS classification.

For commercial imports, importers can also review the official U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule when researching possible classifications.

—

# Section 301 and Chinese Products

Some products originating in China may be subject to additional Section 301 duties.

The applicable treatment is **HTS-specific**.

Therefore, a freight forwarder should not simply say:

> All 1688 goods have the same extra tariff.

That would be inaccurate.

The relevant HTS code should be checked before finalizing the duty component of the DDP quotation.

Importers can review the official USTR Section 301 tariff search for current product-specific information.

This is especially important for:

– Machinery
– Metal products
– Electrical products
– Industrial components
– Furniture
– Building materials
– Certain consumer products

—

# What About Antidumping and Countervailing Duties?

Certain goods can be subject to:

Antidumping Duty — AD

or:

Countervailing Duty — CVD

These duties can be significantly higher than normal customs duty.

Products requiring particular attention may include certain types of:

– Aluminum products
– Steel products
– Furniture
– Cabinets
– Solar products
– Industrial components
– Building materials

Whether AD/CVD applies depends on the exact merchandise and scope of the applicable order.

A normal freight quotation cannot safely determine this using only:

> metal product

or:

> furniture

Accurate product specifications are required.

If a product may be subject to special duties, it should be reviewed **before** placing a large 1688 order.

—

# Low-Value 1688 Parcels: Do Not Assume $800 Means Duty-Free

This point has become especially important for China-origin e-commerce shipments.

Historically, many importers associated low-value U.S. parcels with the Section 321 / de minimis threshold.

However, the customs treatment of China-origin low-value products has changed substantially.

For current 1688 shipping planning, buyers should **not automatically assume that a China-origin parcel under $800 will receive the old duty-free treatment**.

This matters particularly for:

– Dropshipping
– One-piece fulfillment
– Direct-to-consumer shipping
– Small 1688 parcels
– E-commerce orders

The customs and tariff structure should therefore be checked when selecting a small-parcel shipping channel.

—

# ISF for 1688 Ocean Freight to USA

If your consolidated 1688 goods move to the United States by ocean vessel, the **Importer Security Filing — ISF** is an important part of the process.

For typical ocean imports, required shipment information needs to be prepared before loading for the United States.

Data can include information such as:

– Seller
– Buyer
– Importer information
– Consignee
– Manufacturer / supplier
– Ship-to party
– Country of origin
– HTS information
– Container stuffing location
– Consolidator

Importers can review the official U.S. Customs and Border Protection Importer Security Filing guidance for current requirements.

This becomes particularly important when the cargo was purchased from several 1688 sellers.

Ad esempio:

**Supplier A**

Yiwu accessories

**Supplier B**

Guangzhou bags

**Supplier C**

Shenzhen electronics

**Supplier D**

Ningbo hardware

BRF needs accurate supplier and product information rather than only receiving a statement such as:

> 20 cartons purchased from 1688.

—

# Importer of Record and DDP

The **Importer of Record**, or IOR, is an important customs concept.

The appropriate importer structure should be determined before the shipment departs China.

Even when a customs broker handles the actual entry process, commercial import responsibility and documentation still need to be correctly structured.

For this reason, BRF reviews items such as:

– Buyer information
– Seller information
– Commodity
– HTS
– Cargo value
– Destination
– Shipping term
– Import structure

before confirming a DDP solution.

For general China-to-USA route planning, see CHINA BRF LOGISTICS China to USA.

A DDP shipment should not be treated as simply:

> Pay one freight number and customs no longer matters.

Customs compliance still matters.

DDP is a logistics and commercial responsibility structure—not a way to ignore import regulations.

—

# Does DDP Include Customs Duty?

Under a properly confirmed DDP quotation, the applicable import-duty arrangement should be included according to the agreed service scope.

However, customers should always confirm exactly what the quotation includes.

Ask:

– Is customs clearance included?
– Is import duty included?
– Are current additional tariffs included?
– Is destination handling included?
– Is port pickup included?
– Is final trucking included?
– Are residential or liftgate charges included?
– Is delivery appointment included?
– Are inspections or exams excluded?
– Are storage or demurrage charges excluded?

BRF explains these service differences in more detail on its Door-to-Door / DDU / DDP Shipping page.

—

# What Is Usually Included in a BRF 1688 DDP Quote?

Depending on the shipment, a quotation may cover:

### China Side

– Supplier pickup
– Domestic transportation
– Warehouse receiving
– Consolidation
– Export handling
– China customs clearance

### International Transport

– Sea freight
– Air freight
– LCL
– FCL
– Other approved transportation

### United States

– Customs-clearance coordination
– Import-duty arrangement according to confirmed DDP terms
– Destination handling
– Port / terminal pickup
– Inland transportation
– Final delivery

Every quotation should state the actual scope.

—

# What Is Usually Not Automatically Included?

Some unusual expenses cannot realistically be guaranteed inside a basic freight quote without conditions.

Tra gli esempi si possono citare:

– Customs examination
– Intensive inspection
– Demurrage
– Detention
– Long-term storage
– Re-delivery caused by consignee refusal
– Excessive warehouse waiting
– Unexpected port charges
– Special permits
– Product testing
– FDA or other agency requirements
– AD/CVD not disclosed before quotation
– Incorrect product declarations

This is why accurate cargo information is essential.

—

# DDP Shipping Cost Example

Consider a buyer purchasing products from three 1688 suppliers.

### Cargo

5.5 CBM

850 KG

### Suppliers

Supplier A — Yiwu

Supplier B — Ningbo

Supplier C — Hangzhou

### Destination

Dallas, Texas

The cost structure may look like:

**Supplier Domestic Delivery / Pickup
+ Yiwu Warehouse Receiving
+ Consolidation
+ Repacking / Palletizing if Required
+ China Export Handling
+ LCL Sea Freight
+ U.S. Customs Entry
+ Applicable Customs Duty
+ Applicable Additional Tariffs
+ Destination LCL Charges
+ U.S. Inland Transportation
+ Dallas Final Delivery**

**Total DDP Logistics Cost**

The exact amount cannot be calculated accurately from:

> 850 kg

alone.

BRF also needs:

**CBM + product + HTS + value + destination ZIP code**

For a real U.S. DDP example, see the 600KG China to North Haven DDP Door-to-Door Case.

—

# DDP by Small Parcel vs Air vs LCL vs FCL

## Small Parcel DDP

Best considered for:

– Samples
– Very small shipments
– E-commerce fulfillment
– Lightweight products

Pricing tends to be sensitive to chargeable weight and product type.

—

## Air Freight DDP

Suitable for:

– Urgent goods
– Higher-value products
– Medium shipments
– Products with strong time sensitivity

Air shipping may cost more than sea freight but reduce transit time and inventory delay.

—

## LCL DDP

Suitable for shipments that do not fill a container.

Typical commercial situations include:

– 2 CBM
– 5 CBM
– 8 CBM
– 12 CBM

Multi-supplier 1688 cargo can first be consolidated in China through BRF’s China warehouse and then exported using Trasporto marittimo LCL.

—

## FCL DDP

Suitable for large shipments.

Equipment includes:

**20GP · 40GP · 40HQ**

FCL is particularly useful for:

– Furniture
– Machinery
– Building materials
– Large wholesale orders
– Bulky products
– Multi-supplier consolidated inventory

For larger shipments, compare equipment and routing through the BRF FCL Sea Freight service.

—

# Which China Warehouse Should I Use for 1688 DDP to USA?

Read the full Yiwu Warehouse → North Haven DDP case.

—

## Shenzhen

Useful for:

– Shenzhen
– Dongguan
– Guangzhou
– Foshan
– Huizhou
– Guangdong
– South China suppliers

Typical cargo includes electronics, hardware, lighting, consumer products and e-commerce goods.

—

# 1688 DDP Shipping to California

California is one of the most important destinations for China-origin freight.

Common destinations include:

– Los Angeles
– Long Beach
– Ontario
– Riverside
– San Bernardino
– San Diego
– Oakland
– San Francisco
– Sacramento

Possible routes include:

**China → Los Angeles / Long Beach → Customs → Port Pickup → Southern California Delivery**

For inland California destinations, final trucking is calculated according to the ZIP code.

A practical full-container example is BRF’s Qingdao to Los Angeles 40HQ Door-to-Door Shipping Case.

You can also review the broader China to USA Shipping Hub for West Coast route planning.

—

# 1688 DDP Shipping to Texas

Texas is another major BRF destination market.

Common destinations include:

– Dallas
– Houston
– Fort Worth
– Austin
– San Antonio

Depending on routing, cargo can enter through:

– Los Angeles
– Long Beach
– Houston
– Other U.S. gateways

and then move inland.

For port and inland-routing comparisons, see BRF North America Logistics.

—

# 1688 DDP Shipping to New York and New Jersey

East Coast customers may use gateways such as:

– New York
– New Jersey
– Baltimore
– Norfolk
– Savannah

The correct port depends on:

– Ocean schedule
– Freight rate
– Final ZIP code
– Drayage
– Inland transportation
– Delivery date

The lowest ocean-freight rate does not always create the lowest total DDP cost.

BRF’s China to USA route page connects West Coast, East Coast, Gulf Coast and inland-delivery options.

—

# 1688 DDP Shipping to Inland USA

BRF can also evaluate delivery beyond port cities.

Examples include:

– Chicago
– Kansas City
– Eau Claire
– North Haven
– Atlanta
– Indianapolis
– Columbus
– Other commercial markets

Inland transportation can involve:

– Container drayage
– Rail
– Transloading
– Trucking
– Final-mile delivery

For inland U.S. distribution, see the North America Freight & Inland Delivery Hub.

—

# Residential Delivery vs Commercial Warehouse Delivery

This can significantly affect final cost.

## Commercial Warehouse

Usually easier if the facility has:

– Loading dock
– Forklift
– Receiving staff
– Commercial operating hours

## Residential Address

May require additional services such as:

– Liftgate
– Appointment
– Limited-access delivery
– Smaller truck
– Inside-delivery arrangements

Tell BRF before quoting if the final destination is residential.

Do not provide only:

> Los Angeles

Provide the complete ZIP code and delivery conditions.

—

# Liftgate Delivery

A liftgate may be required when:

– Cargo is palletized
– The consignee does not have a loading dock
– No forklift is available
– Heavy cartons need to be lowered from the truck

This should be requested before final delivery.

BRF’s Project Case Library includes U.S. shipments involving specialized destination-delivery requirements.

—

# 1688 DDP to Amazon FBA

For Amazon sellers, the route may look like:

**1688 Supplier → BRF Warehouse → Consolidation → Export → USA Customs → Prep / Delivery → Amazon**

Possible requirements include:

– Product labels
– Carton labels
– Pallet specifications
– Appointment requirements
– Receiving rules

Some sellers choose to deliver first to a U.S. prep warehouse rather than directly to the Amazon facility.

This can provide more flexibility for:

– Inspection
– Relabeling
– Repacking
– Inventory management

BRF’s North America logistics page covers warehouse and Amazon FBA delivery options.

—

# One-Piece 1688 DDP Shipping to USA

For smaller e-commerce businesses, one-piece fulfillment may be possible for suitable products.

The workflow can be:

**1688 Supplier → China Warehouse → Store Inventory → Customer Order → Pick & Pack → U.S. Delivery**

For the general 1688 workflow, warehouse receiving and international shipping methods, see the BRF 1688 International Shipping Guide.

However, because low-value China-origin import rules have changed, one-piece shipping should be evaluated based on the **current customs and tariff treatment**, not an outdated assumption that all parcels under a certain value enter duty-free.

—

# When Should You NOT Use DDP?

DDP is convenient, but it is not always the best solution.

DDP may be less suitable when:

– You have your own U.S. import department
– You already operate under an established importer structure
– Your customs broker has specialized product knowledge
– You have negotiated your own carrier contracts
– You import large volumes regularly
– You need direct control over customs entry
– Your product is subject to complex trade remedies

In these situations, another Incoterm or service structure may be more appropriate.

BRF can still coordinate:

**China Pickup → Export → Freight → Port / Airport**

while your U.S. team manages the import side.

See Door-to-Door, DDU & DDP Shipping for different service structures.

—

# When Is DDP Especially Useful?

DDP is particularly attractive for buyers who:

– Are new to importing
– Purchase from several 1688 suppliers
– Do not have a U.S. logistics team
– Want predictable landed logistics costs
– Need door delivery
– Import irregularly
– Buy medium-sized commercial shipments
– Need China consolidation
– Want one logistics coordinator

For these customers, DDP can simplify the overall supply chain.

—

# How to Reduce 1688 DDP Shipping Costs

## 1. Consolidate Suppliers

Avoid paying several separate international freight charges when compatible products can be consolidated.

Utilizza un China consolidation warehouse to group suitable cargo.

## 2. Select the Right Warehouse

A warehouse close to the majority of suppliers can reduce China domestic transportation.

## 3. Reduce Packaging Volume

For bulky cargo, reducing unnecessary CBM can significantly lower freight cost.

## 4. Use LCL Instead of Air for Non-Urgent Cargo

If time allows, Trasporto marittimo LCL may provide a better cost structure.

## 5. Move to FCL When Volume Is Large Enough

Once LCL cargo becomes sufficiently large, a full container can become more efficient.

## 6. Provide the Correct HTS Code Early

This allows the duty component to be evaluated before shipping.

## 7. Check Special Duties Before Purchasing

Do not discover AD/CVD or other trade measures after production is complete.

## 8. Provide an Accurate ZIP Code

This prevents incorrect inland-delivery estimates.

## 9. Use Commercial Delivery Locations Where Possible

A dock-equipped warehouse can reduce special-delivery requirements.

—

# What Information Does BRF Need for an Accurate 1688 DDP Quote?

For a reliable quotation, send:

### Product Name

Exact commercial product.

### 1688 Product Link

Useful for understanding the merchandise.

### Supplier Location

City or complete address.

### Number of Suppliers

Especially important for consolidation.

### Package Quantity

Cartons, pallets, crates or pieces.

### Package Dimensions

Length × width × height.

### Gross Weight

Per carton or total.

### Total CBM

If available.

### Cargo Value

Needed for customs planning.

### HS / HTS Code

If known.

### Material

Especially important for metal, textile and industrial products.

### Final U.S. ZIP Code

Required for door-delivery pricing.

### Delivery Type

Commercial or residential.

### Cargo-Ready Date

Required for current freight rates.

### Requested Service

Air / LCL / FCL / DDP.

You can also use the BRF Logistics Contact Page to submit your shipment information.

# Why a DDP Quote Cannot Be Based Only on KG

This is a common misunderstanding.

A customer may ask:

> How much is 500 kg from 1688 to USA DDP?

That is not enough information.

Si consideri quanto segue:

### Cargo A

500 kg

1.5 CBM

Small metal components

### Cargo B

500 kg

8 CBM

Mobili

### Cargo C

500 kg

3 CBM

Battery-powered electronics

All three weigh 500 kg.

But they may have completely different:

– Freight methods
– Customs classifications
– Duty rates
– Handling requirements
– Shipping restrictions
– Delivery costs

Therefore, BRF prefers:

**Product + Dimensions + Weight + Value + ZIP Code**

rather than only:

**KG**

—

# Example BRF DDP Workflow: Yiwu Warehouse to North Haven

BRF recently coordinated a U.S. DDP shipment involving approximately **600 kg of sun loungers**.

The cargo originated from a Jiangsu supplier.

Instead of requiring the supplier to manage the international transportation, the cargo was sent to the BRF Yiwu warehouse.

The logistics flow was:

**Jiangsu Supplier → Yiwu Warehouse → Export Handling → International Freight → U.S. Customs → Duty Arrangement → North Haven Door Delivery**

This is very similar to the logistics model used by many overseas 1688 buyers:

**Chinese Supplier Handles Production**

**BRF Handles International Logistics**

The customer therefore did not need to separately coordinate:

– Supplier
– China warehouse
– Export logistics
– International freight
– U.S. customs
– Domestic delivery

# FAQ: 1688 DDP Shipping to USA

## Can I ship directly from 1688 to the USA?

Yes, but many 1688 sellers primarily provide China domestic delivery. A common solution is for the supplier to send the products to a China freight-forwarding warehouse, followed by international shipping to the United States.

## Can BRF receive my 1688 orders?

Yes. BRF can coordinate receiving through Qingdao, Shanghai, Yiwu and Shenzhen according to supplier location and shipment requirements.

## Can I combine products from several 1688 sellers?

Yes. Compatible products can be consolidated before export.

## Does DDP include customs clearance?

A confirmed DDP quotation can include U.S. customs-clearance coordination according to the stated service scope.

## Does DDP include import duty?

Under the agreed DDP structure, applicable duty responsibilities should be clearly defined in the quotation. Always confirm the quotation scope before shipping.

## How much is 1688 DDP shipping to the USA per kg?

There is no reliable universal per-kilogram rate. Cost depends on product, weight, CBM, value, HTS classification, shipping method and U.S. delivery ZIP code.

## Does every Chinese product have the same U.S. duty rate?

No. U.S. tariff treatment depends on the HTS classification and other applicable trade measures.

## Are Section 301 tariffs included in DDP?

If a product is subject to applicable additional duties, those costs need to be considered when the DDP quotation is prepared.

## Are 1688 parcels under $800 still automatically duty-free?

Do not assume that the old low-value duty-free model applies to China-origin products. Current U.S. customs treatment should be reviewed before selecting a parcel or fulfillment channel.

## Do I need an HTS code?

The U.S. customs classification is very important because it affects normal duty and possible additional tariff measures.

## Does BRF handle ISF?

For ocean shipments, ISF coordination can be incorporated into the import process according to the agreed shipment structure and required information.

Yes. Los Angeles, Long Beach, Ontario, Riverside, San Bernardino and other California destinations can be evaluated.

Yes. BRF can coordinate China-to-Texas freight and final delivery depending on the cargo and final ZIP code.

## Can you ship DDP to New York?

New York and New Jersey routes can be evaluated through suitable East Coast gateway services.

## Can you deliver inland?

Yes. Customs, drayage, transloading, rail and/or trucking can be coordinated depending on the route. See North America Inland Delivery.

Amazon and prep-warehouse delivery can be evaluated according to the shipment and receiving requirements.
