The China-to-Brazil DDP playbook: what a fixed DDP price includes, how Brazilian taxes are handled, and how to get an accurate quote.
XCJD Logistics is a China-based international freight forwarder founded in 2011, with licensed brokers in São Paulo and one fixed DDP price for China-to-Brazil freight.
A China-to-Brazil DDP shipment means one fixed price covering freight, export and import clearance, all applicable Brazilian taxes (II, IPI, PIS, COFINS, ICMS) and final delivery. Air takes 7–12 days; sea takes 30–40 days. Clearance runs through licensed brokers in São Paulo with pre-filing before departure.
Brazil's tax stack is complex and shipment-specific — II, IPI, PIS, COFINS and ICMS together are far more than one duty line. Without pre-filing and broker handling, cargo sits at Santos or GRU accruing demurrage. DDP transfers that entire risk and cost into one predictable number.
| Tax | Role | | --- | --- | | II | Import duty | | IPI | Industrialized products tax | | PIS / COFINS | Federal contribution taxes | | ICMS | State circulation tax |
All are assessed at clearance and included in the DDP price. We never quote percentages — we quote the total, confirmed before booking.
| Mode | Transit | Ports / gateway | | --- | --- | --- | | Air DDP | 7–12 days | GRU (São Paulo) | | Sea DDP (FCL / LCL) | 30–40 days | Santos, Navegantes |
Final delivery covers São Paulo, Rio and nationwide.
