German term or phrase: frei Verwendungsstelle
Anyone know the standard way of saying this in English. Here are two sites where it's kind of explained, but I'm hoping the logistics experts will know the standard term anyway.

And here's my context, which is fairly typical of how it seems to be used:
"Die Preise gemäß Bestellung sind - einschließlich sämtlicher Nachlässe und Zuschläge - Festpreise, zuzüglich gesetzlicher Umsatzsteuer, *frei Verwendungsstelle* einschließlich Verpackungs- und Versandkosten, Versicherung sowie Steuern/Zölle/Abgaben, die mit den Lieferungen und Leistungen des Anbieters in den Staaten, in denen diese erbracht werden, zusammenhängen."

Thanks, Derek, and others. Note to Johannes: I think "usage" in the strict sense of use is possibly incorrect in English, even though lots of English-speakers use it!
