DAP requires the seller to deliver the goods to the buyer at a named place of destination, typically a port or terminal, and the buyer is responsible for unloading the goods. Therefore, the seller and buyer should agree who will be responsible for the unloading of goods. Import duties and the cost of unloading and wharfage are not typically the seller's responsibility under DAP. However, the seller's risk and responsibility for the condition of goods end when the goods are delivered to the first carrier, which may be before the goods reach the named place of destination.
