What is DAP (Delivered at Place) / DDU?

DAP (formerly DDU) means the seller pays for transport but the buyer pays duties, taxes, and clearance on arrival. The carrier contacts the customer demanding payment before delivery. This causes surprise charges, refused deliveries, and negative reviews. DAP is no longer recommended for consumer e-commerce.
