Glossary Discription

Delivered at Place (DAP) is an Incoterms® 2020 rule that designates the seller’s obligation to deliver goods to a named place of destination, where the goods are placed at the buyer’s disposal on the arriving means of transport, ready for unloading. Under DAP terms, the seller bears all risks and costs associated with transporting the goods to the agreed destination, but the buyer assumes responsibility for unloading the goods and completing import customs clearance. This term applies to all modes of transport—including air, ocean, road, rail, and multimodal shipments—making it one of the most versatile delivery terms in international trade contracts.
