DDP

DDP commonly refers to several distinct terms in different fields. In international trade, Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) is one of the Incoterms. Under DDP, the seller bears most obligations and risks, arranging and paying for the transportation of the goods to a named destination, handling export clearance, and paying all duties, taxes, and customs duties required for import. The seller also covers inland transit to the named place of destination. The risk transfers to the buyer when the goods are placed at the buyer’s disposal at the named destination, meaning the buyer is responsible only after delivery is completed.

In computing, DDP stands for Distributed Data Protocol. This protocol is used to synchronize data between a client and server in real-time web applications, notably those built with the Meteor framework. DDP operates over transports such as WebSocket or SockJS, enabling clients to subscribe to data streams, receive live updates, and invoke methods on the server. It emphasizes real-time reactivity and consistent state across connected clients.

In popular culture, Diamond Dallas Page is known by the initials DDP. Born in 1957, he is an American former professional wrestler who gained prominence in the 1990s and later became a fitness entrepreneur and actor, notably through his DDP Yoga program. The term’s meaning is highly context-dependent, so the intended reference typically depends on the surrounding industry or discussion.
