    {
      "q": "What does this DDP cost calculator include?",
      "a": "It includes goods value, origin charges, freight, insurance, import duty, VAT or GST, customs and broker fees, destination delivery, and a risk or contingency margin."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is DDP cost the same as landed cost?",
      "a": "Not exactly. DDP cost is seller-side Delivered Duty Paid exposure, while landed cost is usually the buyer-side product cost after import and logistics charges."
    },
    {
      "q": "Who pays duty and import tax under DDP?",
      "a": "The seller is normally responsible for duty and import tax under DDP, subject to contract terms and destination importer-of-record rules."
    },
    {
      "q": "Why add a risk margin?",
      "a": "DDP sellers often carry exposure to customs exams, storage, duty changes, valuation disputes, delivery exceptions, and underquoted destination fees."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can every seller offer DDP?",
      "a": "No. DDP can be impractical or non-compliant where the seller cannot act as importer of record or appoint a valid importer in the destination country."
    },
    {
      "q": "When should I use the DDP shipping cost calculator instead?",
      "a": "Use the DDP shipping cost calculator when you want rate-based duty and tax estimates inside a freight quote workflow."
