FAQ
DDP Shipping — Frequently Asked Questions
What does DDP mean in shipping? +
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is an Incoterm where the seller is responsible for all costs and risks associated with transporting goods to the buyer's destination, including freight, insurance, customs clearance, import duties, VAT, excise tax, and any brokerage or handling fees. The buyer receives the goods at their door with no additional charges — the quoted price is the final price.
How is excise duty calculated for nicotine pouches in the EU? +
Excise duty on nicotine pouches varies by EU member state. Most countries apply a weight-based rate (per kilogram), typically ranging from €25 to €60/kg. The EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) sets a framework but each member state sets its own rates. Our calculator uses country-specific estimates based on the latest available data.
Are herbal nicotine-free pouches subject to excise duty? +
In most EU countries, nicotine-free herbal pouches are NOT subject to tobacco excise duty because they contain no nicotine. However, they are still subject to standard VAT. Regulatory classification varies — some countries treat herbal pouches as food supplements, others as general consumer goods. Always verify with local regulators before importing.
What is the difference between DDP, DAP and DDU? +
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Seller pays everything — freight, duties, VAT, excise, delivery to door. Buyer pays nothing extra.
DAP (Delivered at Place): Seller delivers to destination, but buyer is responsible for import clearance, duties and taxes.
DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): Similar to DAP — seller delivers, buyer pays duties and taxes. DDU is an older term; DAP is the modern Incoterm.
How long does DDP shipping take to Europe? +
Standard Air: 5-10 business days from dispatch to your door. Most common for orders 50-500kg.
Express Air: 3-5 business days. Premium service for urgent orders.
Sea Freight: 25-40 days. Significantly cheaper for large volume orders (500kg+).
Note: Customs clearance can add 1-3 days depending on the destination country and time of year.
Do I need any licenses or permits to import nicotine pouches? +
Requirements vary by country. In most EU member states, businesses importing nicotine products need:
- A valid business registration
- Tobacco retail license (in some countries)
- Excise tax registration
- Compliance with TPD labeling and ingredient requirements
We recommend consulting a local customs broker or legal advisor for specific requirements in your country. PouLux provides all necessary compliance documentation with every shipment.
