German term or phrase: Kosten verauslagen
Is this just a fancy lawyer term for *pay*?
Der Auftragnehmer hat alle Versandkosten, die nach der jeweils vereinbarten Preisstellung von ihm
zu tragen sind, bereits bei der Auflieferung zu entrichten.
Soweit der Auftraggeber Versandkosten gesondert trägt, hat der Auftragnehmer diese bis zur
Empfangsstelle ("Frei Haus") bei der Auflieferung zu verauslagen.

pay costs in advance
Explanation:
The contractor shall pay all shipping costs to be borne by the contractor in accordance with the stipulated price quotation. Where the contracting agent (principal, customer) bears the shipping costs separately, the contractor shall pay these shipping costs to the place of receipt (free house) in advance upon dispatch.


Note: be careful to include "these shipping costs to the place of receipt [free house]" since this is in INCOTERMS phraseology

meet the costs


Explanation:
I found disburse and lay out in my dictionary but the former is very formal sounding and the latter is not frequently used at all (although the noun that comes from this, outlay is fairly common)

agree  Klaus Herrmann: Incoterms - good point! However, there is one point missing: the contractor will be refunded. That's what verauslagen means, pay in advance and get a refund from the customer later on.

verauslagen = zahlen


Explanation:
"Verauslagen" simply means "pay", or according to Thesaurus options: compensate, discharge, recompense, remit.
"Verauslagen" does not imply an advance action, it just refers to payments to be made.
