The MDE Model"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In international trade, <strong>Incoterms<\/strong> (International Commercial Terms) are essential for precisely defining the logistical, customs and financial responsibilities between buyer and seller. But what happens when a customer outside Europe buys from a European online store using a <strong>local address provided by MDE<\/strong>? This model introduces a unique logistical dynamic that requires a deep understanding of how Incoterms actually apply in this hybrid context.<\/p>\n\n<h3>International purchases with a local address: how does it work?<\/h3>\n<p>Thousands of people in Latin America, Africa or Asia buy from European stores using a physical address in Spain, Germany, France or Italy, provided by <strong>MDE<\/strong>. For the European ecommerce store, it counts as a domestic sale: it ships the product to an address within the same country, with no idea that the final destination lies outside Europe.<\/p>\n<p>This model allows international buyers to:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>\n<p>Access products that are not shipped directly to their country.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>Avoid high international shipping fees from the origin.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>Consolidate multiple purchases into a single shipment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once the package is received, <strong>MDE acts as the logistics operator (forwarder)<\/strong>, shipping the goods to the destination country on behalf of the original buyer, who remains the legal owner of the purchase.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Which Incoterm applies when MDE is involved?<\/h3>\n<h4>First stage: domestic shipment within Europe (no international Incoterm)<\/h4>\n<p>When a European online store ships a package to a local address managed by <strong>MDE<\/strong>, <strong>no international Incoterm applies<\/strong>. It is an ordinary domestic shipment: the seller does not know that the goods will leave the country.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Second stage: international shipment managed by MDE (DAP applies by default)<\/h4>\n<p>The moment the customer requests international forwarding from the <strong>MDE<\/strong> warehouse to their country of residence, an export operation begins. By default, <strong>MDE handles this leg under the DAP Incoterm (Delivered At Place)<\/strong>, unless the customer requests otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>This means:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>\n<p>The customer <strong>covers the international shipping costs<\/strong> from Europe.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>The customer <strong>covers the taxes, duties and customs procedures<\/strong> in the destination country.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>MDE<\/strong> delivers the package to the agreed country, but without covering final customs obligations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Is it possible to operate under DDP?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. <strong>MDE also offers the option to operate under the DDP Incoterm (Delivered Duty Paid)<\/strong> if the customer requests it or if a courier is used that supports this kind of end-to-end handling. Under this model:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>\n<p>The customer pays a total cost in advance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p><strong>MDE manages and settles all duties and taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>The package arrives directly at the customer's door, <strong>with no intervention from the user at customs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This model is especially useful for destinations with complex customs policies, such as Mexico, Colombia or Argentina.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Practical example: a purchase in Spain with final destination in Mexico<\/h3>\n<p><strong>DAP case (default):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol>\n \t<li>\n<p>A customer in Mexico buys a pair of shoes from a Spanish store for \u20ac120.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>They use a local address provided by <strong>MDE<\/strong> in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>The store ships the shoes to that address as if it were a domestic sale.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>The customer requests international forwarding from the warehouse.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p><strong>MDE<\/strong> ships the package to Mexico under DAP:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li>\n<p>The customer pays the international shipping to MDE.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>The package arrives at Mexican customs.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>The customer must pay VAT, duties and taxes, and clear the package at Mexican customs, if applicable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>DDP case (optional):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol>\n \t<li>\n<p>The same customer requests forwarding under DDP terms.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p><strong>MDE<\/strong> quotes the total including duties and taxes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>The package is shipped, processed and cleared by the courier.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>The customer receives the package at their door with no additional procedures.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Advantages of the MDE model<\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li>\n<p><strong>The customer remains the legal owner of the product at all times.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>The original store's tax and commercial terms are not altered.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>Access to European products is optimized from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>Costs are reduced by consolidating packages from different stores.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p>Expert advice on logistics and customs options is provided.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>MDE<\/strong> delivers an all-in-one solution that combines a local address, consolidation, international logistics, document automation and personalized support, letting the customer manage their own global shopping network.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Using a local address for international purchases completely transforms the traditional logic of Incoterms. When a customer uses the services of <strong>MDE<\/strong>, logistical responsibility changes hands: the seller delivers locally, while <strong>MDE takes on the international logistics role on behalf of the customer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, <strong>DAP is the Incoterm applied by default<\/strong>, ensuring flexibility and transparency. For those seeking even more convenience and control, the DDP option guarantees a frictionless door-to-door service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MDE is the smart bridge between European ecommerce and the international consumer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.midireccioneuropea.com\/en\/contact\/\"><strong>Request personalized advice today<\/strong><\/a> and discover how to optimize your international purchases and shipments, backed by an operator that understands logistics from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.midireccioneuropea.com\/users\/signup\"><strong>Sign up now<\/strong><\/a>, and get your addresses in Europe, America and Asia. <strong>Enjoy a 14-day trial with a money-back guarantee.
