Prepay US duties and taxes with DDP
For USA shipments, customs charges can be just as important as the courier price. Interparcel lets you choose DDP across international FedEx and UPS services so applicable duties and taxes can be handled before the parcel is sent.
- Available across international FedEx and UPS services
- Standard duties and taxes can be collected upfront
- Helps avoid the recipient receiving an unexpected standard customs bill
- Especially useful for US eCommerce and business shipments
The Interparcel DDP Guarantee
When DDP Guaranteed is selected and the customs information supplied is accurate and complete, the amount collected is the final amount for standard import duties and taxes covered by the guarantee.
- Declare every item accurately
- Use the correct value and commodity code
- Select DDP Guaranteed when available
US import rules have changed significantly, making the way duties are handled more important for both personal and commercial parcels. See the detailed US customs changes for July 2026 below.

- Import US orders and recipient details

Answers to common questions about postage to America, delivery times, customs changes, DDP, duties, US addresses, tracking and restricted items.
Contact usHow do I send a parcel to the USA from the UK?+
Pack the parcel securely, weigh and measure the finished box, then enter the UK collection or drop-off details and US destination into the Interparcel quote tool. Compare the available services, complete the customs information and book the courier that suits your shipment.
How long does parcel delivery from the UK to the USA take?+
Delivery time depends on the courier, service and US destination. Express services can reach some major US destinations in as little as one to two working days after collection, while economy services allow longer in transit in return for a lower price.
Do I need customs documents to send a parcel to the USA?+
Yes. Parcels sent from the UK to the USA require customs information. Interparcel collects the required shipment information during booking, including detailed item descriptions, values, country of origin and tariff classification.
What changed for US customs in July 2026?+
From 24 July 2026, updated US customs procedures place greater emphasis on accurate customs classifications and electronic shipment data. Important information includes detailed descriptions, item values, country of origin and the correct tariff codes. Interparcel already collects this information as part of its USA booking process. Read our US customs update.
Does the USA still have an $800 duty-free de minimis allowance?+
No. The former duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value imports from all countries was suspended from 29 August 2025. Applicable duties, taxes and fees may therefore apply to low-value parcels entering the United States.
Can I prepay US duties and taxes with Interparcel?+
Yes. Interparcel offers Delivered Duty Paid options across its FedEx and UPS international services. When DDP Guaranteed is selected and complete and accurate customs information is provided, standard import duties and taxes are collected in advance to provide greater cost certainty.
What is the difference between DDP and DDU when sending to the USA?+
With DDP, the sender pays applicable duties and taxes in advance. With DDU, those charges are not collected during booking and are normally payable by the recipient. DDP can provide a smoother experience because the recipient is not unexpectedly asked to pay standard import charges before delivery.
Can I choose collection or drop-off delivery to the USA?+
Yes. Interparcel offers both collection and drop-off international services to the USA on eligible routes. The options displayed depend on the parcel weight, dimensions, UK postcode and US destination entered into the quote.
How do I address a parcel to the USA?+
Use the recipient's full name, street address, city, two-letter state abbreviation and ZIP code. Accurate telephone and email details are also important because the courier or customs authorities may need to contact the recipient during clearance or delivery.
Can I track a parcel being sent to America?+
Yes. Interparcel USA parcel delivery services include online tracking. The first tracking update normally appears after the courier collects or scans the parcel, or after a drop-off shipment reaches the courier network.
What items can I send to the USA?+
Acceptance depends on the item, courier and US import rules. Check the Interparcel prohibited and restricted items guide before booking and make sure the goods comply with any destination-specific US restrictions.
Can I send a pallet from the UK to the USA?+
Interparcel pallet delivery services are currently available for UK domestic deliveries only. For a shipment to the USA, enter the packed dimensions and weight into the parcel quote tool to see which international parcel services can accept it.
