This is the incoterm with the most responsibilities and costs for the seller. The seller takes away all the worries, costs, risks and formalities from the buyer. the shipper is responsible for moving the cargo from their warehouse, all the way up to the final recipients door. They will even be in charge of the customs formalities in the country of the destination. Just as we do not promote the EXW incoterm, where the buyer needs to do the custom clearance in the country of his shipper, we're not big fans of the DDP incoterm, where those roles are reversed. We would strongly recommend the DAP incoterm, as we believe custom formalities are a local matter which are best done by the residents of that specific country.
