On one hand, China remains a manufacturing powerhouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other, US customs regulations, Section 301 tariffs, and compliance enforcement have tightened significantly in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So where does DDP shipping fit into this picture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DDP \u2014 Delivered Duty Paid \u2014 is often marketed as the \u201call-inclusive\u201d solution. The seller handles freight, customs clearance, duties, tariffs, and final delivery. You receive your goods ready to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds simple. Almost too simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2026, DDP shipping from China to the US has become especially popular among:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u0628\u0627\u0626\u0639\u0648 Amazon FBA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shopify eCommerce brands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small-to-medium importers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First-time US buyers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because US customs procedures can feel overwhelming. Between Customs and Border Protection (CBP), import bonds, HS codes, and Section 301 tariffs, many importers prefer handing responsibility to experienced freight forwarders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here\u2019s the key: DDP simplifies logistics \u2014 it doesn\u2019t eliminate risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding how DDP works specifically for US imports is critical. The US has strict compliance standards, aggressive tariff enforcement, and heavy penalties for misdeclaration. If your forwarder cuts corners, your business could be exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll break down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How DDP works for US shipments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How tariffs affect pricing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real cost estimates for 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs clearance procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transit times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amazon FBA considerations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to avoid costly mistakes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start by understanding how DDP shipments actually move from China to the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-how-ddp-shipping-from-china-to-the-us-works\" data-level=\"2\">How DDP Shipping from China to the US Works<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-ddp-vs-other-incoterms-for-us-importers\" data-level=\"2\">DDP vs Other Incoterms for US Importers<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-shipping-methods-available-under-ddp\" data-level=\"2\">Shipping Methods Available Under DDP<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-ddp-shipping-costs-from-china-to-the-us-2026-update\" data-level=\"2\">DDP Shipping Costs from China to the US (2026 Update)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-faqs-about-ddp-shipping-from-china-to-us\" data-level=\"2\">FAQs About DDP shipping from China to US<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-ddp-shipping-from-china-to-the-us-works\"><strong>How DDP Shipping from China to the US Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-1024x347.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-1024x347.png\" alt=\"How DDP Shipping from China to the US Works\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-2823\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27347%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20347%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27347%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-200x68.png 200w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-400x135.png 400w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-600x203.png 600w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-768x260.png 768w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-800x271.png 800w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-1024x347.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-1200x406.png 1200w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13-1536x520.png 1536w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-26-at-22.35.13.png 1796w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>DDP shipping from China to the US follows a structured process \u2014 even though it may feel effortless on your end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what happens behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-by-step-shipping-process\"><strong>Step-by-Step Shipping Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You agree on DDP terms with your supplier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supplier arranges pickup from their factory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Export customs clearance in China is completed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freight is booked (air or ocean).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cargo arrives in the US.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import customs entry is filed with CBP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duties, taxes, and tariffs are paid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shipment clears customs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final delivery is made to your warehouse or Amazon FBA center.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is bundled into one quoted price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-is-the-importer-of-record\"><strong>Who Is the Importer of Record?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is extremely important in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under standard DDP terms, the seller handles duties.

If a quote seems too low, confirm that Section 301 is included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>US Customs Clearance Under DDP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Customs clearance in the United States is not something to take lightly. The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency is known for strict enforcement, advanced screening systems, and heavy penalties for non-compliance. When shipping DDP from China to the US, understanding how customs works is essential \u2014 even if someone else is handling it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under DDP terms, the seller or their appointed freight forwarder manages the customs entry process. However, the shipment still requires proper filing with CBP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Required Documentation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A standard US import entry requires:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Commercial Invoice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Packing List<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bill of Lading (for ocean) or Air Waybill (for air)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HS Code (Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entry Summary (CBP Form 7501)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Importer of Record number (EIN or SSN for individuals)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing or inaccurate documents can result in delays, inspections, or holds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CBP Entry Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When goods arrive in the US:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Entry documentation is filed electronically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CBP reviews classification, value, and country of origin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duties and

targeting systems to flag suspicious shipments, especially those with undervaluation or high-risk tariff classifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bond Requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most US imports require a customs bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Single Entry Bond<\/strong> \u2013 Used for occasional shipments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Continuous Bond<\/strong> \u2013 Covers multiple shipments for one year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even under DDP, a bond must be secured if the shipment exceeds $2,500 in value (or if regulated goods are involved).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the key: If your business is listed as the Importer of Record, you are legally responsible for the bond and compliance \u2014 even if the seller arranges everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DDP reduces your workload, but it doesn\u2019t erase US customs law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

duties included upfront, you can calculate margins accurately before products ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For eCommerce brands operating on tight margins, this predictability is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reduced Administrative Burden<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coordinate customs brokers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay duties separately<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage freight bookings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is bundled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Simplified Logistics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of managing multiple service providers, you deal with one point of contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For small businesses without in-house logistics teams, this simplicity is valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Convenience is the main selling point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Risks and Challenges of DDP Shipping<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Convenience always comes with trade-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Compliance Risks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your forwarder misdeclares goods, CBP may hold you accountable \u2014 especially if you\u2019re the Importer of Record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Never assume compliance is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hidden Cost Concerns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DDP pricing may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Freight markups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duty buffers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exchange rate padding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Transparency can be limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Limited Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You typically cannot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose the carrier<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the customs broker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Negotiate freight contracts directly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For high-volume importers, this lack of control can reduce cost efficiency long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DDP works best for simplicity \u2014 not for maximum

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>DDP shipping is convenient \u2014 but convenience doesn\u2019t mean you should overpay. If you\u2019re importing from China to the US regularly, even small cost reductions can protect thousands (or millions) of dollars in margin over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key is simple: optimize legally, negotiate intelligently, and plan strategically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s break down the most effective ways to reduce DDP shipping costs without exposing your business to compliance risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Increase Shipment Volume Strategically<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Freight pricing rewards volume. The more space you occupy, the lower your per-unit cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re shipping small batches frequently, you\u2019re likely paying premium rates. Instead, consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Combining multiple SKUs into one shipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ordering larger production runs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consolidating shipments from multiple suppliers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shipping 200 cartons by air twice per month may cost significantly more per unit than shipping 400 cartons once per month via sea freight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ocean freight becomes dramatically more economical when you move from LCL (Less than Container Load) to FCL (Full Container Load). Even upgrading from half-container volume to full-container volume can reduce per-unit cost by 20\u201340%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But volume strategy must balance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Storage capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash flow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inventory turnover speed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Holding too much stock increases warehousing and capital lockup costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The smartest importers calculate total landed cost + storage cost \u2014 not just freight cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Plan Around Peak Shipping Seasons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shipping rates fluctuate based on demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most expensive periods typically include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>August to October (holiday inventory rush)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pre-Chinese New Year (January\u2013February)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black Friday &amp; Cyber Monday prep<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During these periods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ocean rates rise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air cargo space tightens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Port congestion increases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs backlogs grow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can produce and ship earlier \u2014 even by 2\u20134 weeks \u2014 you can often lock in lower rates and avoid congestion surcharges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it like booking airline tickets. Buying early saves money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best practice? Build a rolling 90-day inventory forecast and schedule shipments proactively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Optimize Packaging Dimensions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Air freight and courier pricing are heavily influenced by volumetric weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The formula typically used:<br>Length \u00d7 Width \u00d7 Height (cm) \u00f7 6000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your packaging is bulky but lightweight, you\u2019re paying for empty space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small packaging changes can produce major savings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduce carton height by 2\u20133 cm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use tighter internal packing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eliminate oversized void fill<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optimize pallet stacking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a 10% reduction in cubic volume can translate to meaningful freight savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For sea freight, optimizing container loading (known as container utilization) is equally important. Poor loading can waste expensive space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask your supplier to provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carton dimension breakdown<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Container loading plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maximum pallet optimization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Freight savings often start in product design \u2014 not at the shipping stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Review HS Code Classification Carefully<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most powerful \u2014 and most misunderstood \u2014 strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your product\u2019s HS code determines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Base duty rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 301 tariff rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eligibility for exclusions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a small change in classification can significantly affect tariff exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Product classified under one category may face:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5% duty + 25% Section 301<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But a legally correct alternative classification may carry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2% duty + 7.5% Section 301<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That difference can be massive at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this must be done legally and correctly. Misclassification to reduce tariffs is illegal and risky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult a licensed customs broker or trade compliance expert before adjusting classifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart classification = legal savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Negotiate DDP Rate Transparency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many importers treat DDP as a black box price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, ask for a rough cost structure breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Estimated freight cost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimated duty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 301 tariff inclusion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearance fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final delivery cost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not receive exact numbers, but understanding the structure gives negotiation power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If freight markets soften, you can request price adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If tariffs are reduced or exclusions apply, your DDP rate should reflect that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term importers should renegotiate DDP rates quarterly \u2014 not annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Markets change. Your rates should too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DDP shipping from China to the US in 2026 offers a powerful mix of convenience and predictability. For small businesses, eCommerce brands, and Amazon sellers, it removes many logistical headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But convenience should never replace understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US customs enforcement is strict. Section 301 tariffs significantly impact costs. Importer of Record responsibilities matter. Transparency is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DDP works best when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You value simplicity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You ship moderate volumes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You partner with a reputable forwarder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It may not be ideal when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You import containers regularly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You want full customs control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You negotiate freight contracts directly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>International trade rewards informed decisions. When you understand the mechanics behind DDP \u2014 not just the promise of simplicity \u2014 you protect your margins and your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose wisely. Verify compliance. Protect your supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs-about-ddp-shipping-from-china-to-us\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong> \u0646\u0628\u0630\u0629 \u0639\u0646 <strong>DDP shipping<\/strong> from China to US<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"323\" src=\"https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-1024x323.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-1024x323.png\" alt=\"FAQs About China Sourcing Agent\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-2688\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27323%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20323%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27323%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-200x63.png 200w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-300x95.png 300w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-400x126.png 400w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-600x189.png 600w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-768x242.png 768w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-800x252.png 800w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-1024x323.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46-1200x378.png 1200w, https:\/\/goodcantrading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screen-Shot-2026-02-17-at-14.59.46.png 1370w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.
