The meaning of DDU term is also called as ‘Delivery Duty Unpaid’ or ‘Door delivery Duty Unpaid’. In the case of DDU, the seller meets all costs except importing tax or duty of the said goods at importing country.

You are the seller of goods and you have contracted with the buyer and agreed to sell the goods on DDU New York price of USD 6050. Here the selling cost of goods is USD 6050 DDU New York.
