(DAP) Delivered at Place in International Trade

Meaning of DAP (Delivered at Place), according to the Dictionary of International Trade (Global Negotiator): In Incoterms DAP the seller delivers the goods, without unloading, at the place of destination in the buyer's country. The transport risk is transferred from buyer to seller in the same place where the goods are delivered.

The place of delivery may be the buyer's premises or a place nearby, other than a transport terminal, in the country of destination. If delivery occurs at a transport terminal or transport infrastructure (port, airport, etc.) in the country of destination, Incoterms DAT should be used. In this Incoterms the seller has to complete the formalities and bear the costs of customs clearance of export, not the import clearance that corresponds to the buyer. In the event that the seller also clear goods for import Incoterm DDP should be used.

This Incoterms may be used irrespective of the mode of transport. See Incoterms for a list of the eleven Incoterms. Practical Guide to Incoterms.
