Door-to-Door service is a comprehensive shipping solution that covers the entire logistics process from the seller’s location in China to the buyer’s doorstep in Iran. The service simplifies the shipping process by handling all aspects of shipping, including pickup, customs clearance, and final delivery.

Two important International Commercial Terms (Incoterms) are often mentioned in the context of door-to-door services:

• DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): Under DDU terms, the seller is responsible for shipping the goods to the buyer’s location, but the buyer must clear customs and pay any import duties and taxes when the goods arrive.
• DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Under DDP terms, the seller is responsible for the entire shipping process, including customs clearance and payment of all import duties and taxes. This provides a worry-free experience for buyers as the goods are delivered to their doorstep without any additional costs.

Door-to-Door service can be applied to various types of shipments, including:

• LCL (Less Than Container Load) Door-to-Door: Suitable for smaller shipments that do not need to fill a full container. Multiple shipments are consolidated into a single container, which reduces costs and provides flexibility.
• FCL (Full Container Load) Door-to-Door: For large shipments that can fill an entire container. This service ensures that the goods are transported directly from the seller’s location to the buyer’s doorstep without any intermediate handling.
• Air Freight Door-to-Door: For urgent and time-sensitive shipments, the Air Freight Door-to-Door service offers the fastest delivery times. This is especially useful for high-value or perishable goods that require expedited transportation.
