This comparison template models which import-side costs the buyer still carries under DDP versus DAP. The exact split depends on contract language, customs structure, and whether the seller prepaid specific destination charges.

Is DDP always simpler for the buyer?

Operationally it can be, but buyers should still examine customs risk, importer-of-record structure, and destination exceptions before assuming DDP is safer.

Why compare DDP and DAP numerically?

Because the operational difference becomes clearer once duty, tax, clearance, and last-mile responsibility are written as cost exposure.
