Sourcing and DDP case

Taobao sourcing and air DDP for a jewellery shop in Spain

A jewellery retailer buying from several Taobao suppliers had the goods received, checked and repacked in China, then flown to Spain under DDP so the buyer paid one figure and did not deal with customs.

A jewellery retailer bought from multiple Taobao suppliers through Honour Ocean, had the goods received, checked and repacked in the warehouse, then shipped air DDP to Spain at 2,000 to 3,000 sets a month.

What was the requirement?

The buyer was sourcing from several Taobao suppliers without a China presence, the shell components were not straightforward to clear, and the goods were fragile enough that packing quality decided whether the order arrived sellable.

What did the customer need?

  • Purchase from several Taobao suppliers on the buyer's behalf
  • Receive, check and repack everything in one warehouse
  • Clear customs and pay duty and tax on a delivered basis
  • Keep a repeatable monthly flow of 2,000 to 3,000 sets

What was the plan?

Honour Ocean bought from the Taobao suppliers directly, received every delivery at the warehouse, checked and repacked the goods to prevent damage in transit, then shipped air DDP with customs clearance, duty and tax handled under one scope.

What was the timeline?

  • Supplier sourcing: Orders placed with multiple Taobao suppliers on the buyer's behalf.
  • Warehouse receiving: All deliveries received and registered against the order list.
  • Checking and repacking: Goods checked and repacked to protect fragile shell components.
  • Air freight and DDP clearance: Air DDP shipment with destination clearance, duty and tax included.

How was the cargo handled in the warehouse?

  • Registered each supplier delivery separately
  • Checked piece counts and reported variances
  • Repacked fragile items before dispatch

What was the result?

The buyer confirmed satisfaction with the service and continues to ship 2,000 to 3,000 sets a month on the same arrangement.
