Frachtzuschläge für die frachtfreie Anlieferung

This is a heading above a chart of freight charges. This seems contradictory to me, but I thought maybe I'm misunderstanding the terminology.

Delivered Duty Unpaid


Explanation:
DDU - Delivered Duty Unpaid (named place of destination) (Any mode of transport)
The seller must deliver the goods to the buyer, not cleared for import, and not unloaded at the named place of destination.

These are the standard Incoterms used in the transportation sector.
