"delivered duty paid" means that the seller delivers the goods to the buyer, cleared for import, and not unloaded from any arriving means of transport at the named place of destination. The seller has to bear all the costs and risks involved in bringing the goods thereto including, where applicable, any "duty"(which term includes the responsibility for and the risks of the carrying out of customs formalities and the payment of formalities, customs duties, taxes and other charges) for import in the country of destination. 3, record 2, English, - delivered%20duty%20paid

delivered duty paid : Whilst the EXW term represents the minimum obligation for the seller, DDP represents the maximum obligation. This term should not be used if the seller is unable directly or indirectly to obtain the import license. However, if the parties wish to exclude from the seller's obligations some of the costs payable upon import of the goods(such as value-added tax : VAT), this should be made clear by adding explicit wording to this effect in the contract of sale. If the parties wish the buyer to bear all risks and costs of the import, the DDU term should be used. This term may be used irrespective of the mode of transport but when delivery is to take place in the port of destination on board the vessel or on the quay(wharf), the DES or DEQ terms should be used. 3, record 2, English, - delivered%20duty%20paid

«rendu droits acquittés» signifie que le vendeur livre la marchandise à l'acheteur, dédouanée à l'importation et non déchargée à l'arrivée de tout véhicule de transport au lieu de destination convenu. Le vendeur doit supporter tous les frais et risques pour y acheminer la marchandise y compris, le cas échéant tout «droit» à l'importation dans le pays de destination (terme qui inclut la responsabilité et les risques pour l'accomplissement des formalités douanières ainsi que le paiement de ces formalités, droits de douanes, taxes et autres redevances). 2, record 2, French, - rendu%20droits%20acquitt%C3%A9s
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
rendu droits acquittés : Alors que le terme EXW définit l'obligation minimale du vendeur, le terme DDP en définit l'obligation maximale. Ce terme ne doit pas être utilisé lorsque le vendeur n'est pas en mesure, directement ou indirectement, d'obtenir la licence d'importation. Toutefois si les parties souhaitent exclure des obligations du vendeur le règlement de certains frais exigibles à l'importation de la marchandise (par exemple la taxe à la valeur ajoutée TVA), elles doivent le préciser en ajoutant une clause explicite à cet effet dans le contrat de vente. Si les parties souhaitent que l'acheteur supporte tous les risques et coûts liés à l'importation, c'est le terme DDU qui doit être utilisé. Le terme DDP peut être utilisé quel que soit le mode de transport. Cependant si la livraison doit être effectuée au port de destination à bord du navire ou sur le quai, ce sont les termes DES ou DEQ qu'il convient d'utiliser. 2, record 2, French, - rendu%20droits%20acquitt%C3%A9s

ICC-Incoterms 1990 :Delivered Ex Quay(duty paid) "means that the seller fulfils his obligation to deliver when he has made the goods available to the buyer on the quay(wharf) at the named port of destination, cleared for importation. The seller has to bear all risks and costs including duties, taxes and other charges of delivering the goods thereto. This term should not be used if the seller is unable directly or indirectly to obtain the import licence. If the parties wish the buyer to clear the goods for importation and pay the duty the words "duty unpaid" should be used instead of "duty paid". If the parties wish to exclude from the seller's obligations some of the costs payable upon importation of the goods(such as value added tax(VAT), this should be made clear by adding words to this effect :"Delivered ex quay, VAT unpaid... named port of destination) ". This term can only be used for sea or inland waterway transport. 1, record 3, English, - delivered%20ex%20quay%20duty%20unpaid
