❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Sea DDP w/Tax from China to Cote d'Ivoire take?

Sea freight on this route runs about 25–45 calendar days door-to-door, plus roughly 7–21 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. Customs clearance is coordinated through our DDP Service (a customs and tax handling service, not Incoterms DDP).

In what currency is this route priced and paid?

Freight is quoted and invoiced in USD; the destination-side currency is USD. Payment is typically due before departure. Our DDP service handles the customs and tax processing, but the duty and tax figure itself follows your product's HS code, its declared value and the exchange rate applied at entry, so it is confirmed against the actual goods rather than fixed in advance.

Booked another door-to-door shipment to Ivory Coast through this team. Transit was a little tight but still manageable. Tracking updates were not excessive, but they came when something important changed. Overall a reliable experience for repeat imports. Bon suivi du colis jusqu a la livraison finale.
