What does DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded) mean in logistics?

Short answer

Incoterm for any mode: the seller delivers and unloads the goods at the named destination and bears risk until unloading. It replaced DAT in Incoterms 2020 and is the only term requiring the seller to unload at destination.

Relevant for project cargo and deliveries to sites or terminals where the seller controls unloading equipment. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
