Who it's for
Webshops with customers in the EU and beyond
Inside the EU you book a regular shipment. Outside the EU Zineps fills customs data from your products. No separate portal per destination.
Brands that want to pick DDP or DAP per shipment
Decide who pays import duties and VAT. DDP for consumers, DAP often for business receivers. The UK page explains the Brexit rules.
Teams that record HS codes once
Store HS code, value and country of origin per product. That data goes into CN22, CN23 or the commercial invoice when you label.
What you get
- International shipping inside the EU and beyond in the same workflow
- HS code, value and origin per product, reused on every shipment
- CN22, CN23 or commercial invoice with the label, digital or as PDF
- DDP or DAP per shipment or via a shipping rule
- Links to paperless customs, outside Europe and shipping to the UK
- No tax advice on this page
HS codes, CN22 and CN23
Outside the EU a shipment needs customs data. Zineps takes that from your product records. Which form belongs to the shipment depends on value and destination. You see that when booking.
HS code
The goods code customs uses to classify the product. You store it once per product, together with value and country of origin.
CN22
The customs declaration for lighter or lower-value shipments. Zineps fills the fields from your product data. Whether CN22 or CN23 applies depends on the shipment.
CN23
The fuller customs declaration, often together with a commercial invoice. Those documents also come from the same product data.
Digital or paper
If the carrier supports digital customs, the documents travel with the label. If not, you print a PDF. That is on /oplossingen/douane-zonder-papier.
General information, not customs or tax advice. Check your own situation with your accountant or a customs expert.
DDP or DAP: who pays the import costs?
On shipments outside the EU you choose who pays import duties and VAT. That choice decides what your customer meets at the door.
DDP · Delivered Duty Paid
DAP · Delivered At Place
Who pays duties and VAT?
DDP · Delivered Duty Paid
You as the sender, upfront via the carrier or in your price.
DAP · Delivered At Place
The receiver, on delivery or upfront via the carrier.
What does your customer see?
DDP · Delivered Duty Paid
No extra payment request at the door.
DAP · Delivered At Place
A request from the carrier, often with a handling fee.
Best fit
DDP · Delivered Duty Paid
Webshops that sell to consumers.
DAP · Delivered At Place
Business receivers who import themselves.
On /oplossingen/verzenden-buiten-europa the same choice also appears as DDU, the older name. No prices on this page.

Shipping to the UK after Brexit
The United Kingdom sits outside the EU. Every shipment to the UK needs customs data. Details on DDP, UK VAT and Northern Ireland are on the UK page.
The UK is a third country
Since Brexit, import rules apply. You need EORI, an HS code and an invoice or CN23. In Zineps you pick DDP or DAP per shipment.
DDP for consumers
With DDP your customer pays no import costs at the door. How that works up to and above 135 pounds is on /oplossingen/verzenden-naar-uk.
Carriers to the UK
You compare among others DHL Express, UPS, FedEx and DPD. Multi-carrier selection is on /oplossingen/multi-carrier-verzenden.
