What is Destination Delivery Charge?

Destination Delivery Charge, or DDC, is an additional charge for shipments delivered to certain locations beyond a carrier’s usual service area. This charge is often based on container size and can vary depending on the carrier. The DDC is typically included in the overall cost of the shipment and is outlined in the carrier’s tariffs.

Destination charges are a common component of international shipping and are designed to account for the additional costs of delivering freight to certain locations. These charges may apply to shipments that require special handling or delivery to remote or hard-to-reach areas. The DDC is an abbreviation for this specific charge and is an important consideration for logistics and transportation management companies.
