DPU

Category: Incoterms

Definition (plain English)

Seller delivers and unloads at destination place.

Why it matters commercially

DPU adds seller unloading responsibility, which matters when site equipment or timing is tight.

Example

Cargo is delivered and unloaded at a destination depot under DPU, avoiding buyer unload labor.

Common mistake

Using DPU without verifying unload constraints, appointment windows, or access limits.
