Is this "additional shipping costs" or "excess freight charges"?

"Die vom Auftraggeber erteilten Versandvorschriften sind genau einzuhalten; eventuelle Schäden oder Kosten, die aus Nichteinhaltung der Versandvorschriften oder vereinbarter Versandbedingungen entstehen (z.B. *Mehrfracht*, Wagenstandgeld, Zölle, Schäden an Transportmitteln) gehen ausschließlich zu Lasten des Anbieters.

Perfect - either of your two options would do just as well as the other.

There are possibly a dozen ways to get the idea over; they are all \"costs in excess of what the normal freight charges are assessed as being\".
