Frequently asked questions

What does DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) mean?

DDP means Gap Trading Corporation handles export documentation, freight, insurance, U.S. import duties, and customs clearance before the shipment arrives. The price quoted is the landed price at your dock — no separate broker or duty invoices.

Where does Gap Trading Corporation source from?

We source directly from vetted fastener and hardware mills in India and China, with pre-shipment inspection at origin, and deliver across the USA. We have been working since 1998, with offices in the USA, India, and China.

What products does Gap Trading Corporation supply?

Dock and marine hardware, structural bolts and anchors, nuts, washers and fittings, construction fasteners, and powerline hardware — in carbon steel, stainless 304 and 316, and hot-dip galvanized finishes, built to ANSI, DIN, or ISO specification.

Does Gap Trading offer credit terms?

Yes. A credit facility is available for qualified buyers instead of paying the full order upfront. Ask your Gap Trading contact about eligibility.
