English translation:tooling costs
Explanation:
I'm not sure what tooling costs a transporter would have, it really depends on what they are being contracted to do. "Set-up costs" or "equipment costs" may be more appropriate but you haven't provided enough context to be sure.

Also, it could be a "boiler plate" contract that just means "tooling costs (if applicable)". The phrase only says they will give all information relating to... which could include no information at all!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Terry, I don't have much more context I'm afraid, apart from the fact that the goods may need to be specially packaged which might explain the need for tooling/equipment costs. Makes sense
