Lieferung Zug um Zug gegen Vorlage der Verladepapiere/Warenbegleitpapiere


Explanation:
It seems to be a part of an l/c agreement?

"presentation" is exactly translated as "Vorlage", "shipment" is not necessarily connected to "ship", it means just "transportation" or "delivery".

Explanation:
"I think this is the easiest way of expression and most elegant- thank you very much!" (from above):

It is totally false, unidiomatic use of German and not at all elegant. That's what it is. Sorry for having to state this!
