He aquí cómo se desglosarían los costes:
- Coste del producto: Agreed price for the standing desks is $70,000.
- Logística local: Costs for delivering goods from the factory to the port in China (seller’s responsibility), let’s say $2,000.
- Despacho aduanero de exportación: Costs for the goods to be cleared for export by Chinese customs (seller’s responsibility), let’s say $1,000.
- Gastos de transporte: Cost of shipping goods across the ocean to the destination port in New York, USA (seller’s responsibility under DAP), let’s say $5,000.
- Despacho aduanero de importación: Duties and taxes for goods to be cleared by US customs (buyer’s responsibility under DAP), let’s say $7,000.
- Logística local en Estados Unidos: Costs for delivering goods from the port to the buyer’s warehouse in New York (seller’s responsibility under DAP), let’s say $2,000.
So, the total cost to the seller (DAP price) is $70,000 (Product Cost) + $2,000 (Local Logistics) + $1,000 (Export Customs Clearance) + $5,000 (Freight Charges) + $2,000 (Local Logistics in the USA) = $80,000.
Envío:
Under DAP, the seller has the obligation to arrange and pay for the carriage of the goods to the agreed destination, and the risk transfers from the seller to the buyer as soon as the goods are ready for unloading at the named place. The buyer is responsible for import clearance and any applicable local taxes or import duties.
Therefore, the total cost to the buyer is the DAP price ($80,000) plus the costs of Import Customs Clearance ($7,000). That is, $80,000 + $7,000 = $87,000. The buyer bears the risk and any additional costs occurring after the goods are ready for unloading at the named place of destination.
