Under the Incoterms rules the seller delivers the goods and pays import duties. But on importation into Russia the declarant and payer of customs payments is the Russian party (Article 83 of the EAEU Customs Code)

The DDP term is passed into the form from this page
Import or export of goods. Parties, goods with HS codes and prices go into the same form; the Russian party's details are filled in from its INN (taxpayer number).
DDP is already selected. Enter the place of destination: the address to which the seller delivers the goods. The delivery terms in the specification will be built for DDP.
You see the whole document before paying: the English and Russian columns, the specification, the delivery term. After payment you get the DOCX.
An Incoterms rule applies to the delivery of goods — import or export
The supplier delivers the goods to your warehouse. You file the import declaration: in a deal with a foreign supplier the declarant is the Russian party (Article 83 of the EAEU Customs Code), and the supplier can compensate the duties under the contract.
You deliver the goods and clear customs in the buyer's country.
Risk passes when the goods, cleared for import, are on the arriving transport ready for unloading at the place of destination
A delivery term without an exact place and without the conditions around it does not work well

DDP is the rule with the maximum obligations for the seller: under the Incoterms rules the buyer receives the goods already cleared at its end. For importation into Russia this conflicts with customs rules: the Russian party will declare the goods and make customs payments — only it can be the declarant in a deal with a foreign supplier (subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 83 of the EAEU Customs Code). If the parties want the supplier ultimately to bear the import costs, this is handled through the price and reimbursement under the contract, and the more accurate rule to choose is DAP.
The delivery term is set out in Annex No. 1 (Specification) in English and Russian. The English column for this term:
DDP [place]
Delivery and transfer of risk: The Seller has fulfilled its delivery obligation when it places the Goods, cleared for import, at the Buyer's disposal on the arriving means of transport, ready for unloading, at the named place of destination ([place]). The risk of loss of or damage to the Goods and the title to the Goods pass from the Seller to the Buyer at that moment.
Costs: The Seller bears the costs of carriage to the named place of destination ([place]), export and import clearance, including the duties and taxes payable on importation. The Buyer bears unloading.
Customs clearance: export and import clearance, duties and taxes are the Seller's obligation. At the Seller's request, cost and risk the Buyer renders assistance in obtaining the documents required for importation.
On importation into Russia, the declarant and payer of customs payments will be the buyer as a party to the deal — keep this in mind when choosing DDP.
Under DDP the seller pays for carriage and includes it in the price of the goods. If the place of destination is inside Russia, part of these costs falls on the leg across the territory of the Eurasian Economic Union. Under paragraph 2 of Article 40 of the EAEU Customs Code, such costs are not included in the customs value — provided that they are separated from the price, declared by the declarant and supported by documents. It is therefore better to show the cost of delivery beyond the border as a separate amount in the supplier's documents.
