Incoterms DPU: Delivered at Place Unloaded
Named Place Required: Place of Destination, Where Seller Unloads
Applies to: 
Delivered at Place Unloaded (DPU) (formerly referred to as DAT for “Delivered at Terminal”) requires the seller to deliver the goods at the disposal of the buyer after they’ve been unloaded from the arriving means of transport.
DPU is the only Incoterms rule that requires the seller to unload goods at the place of destination.
DPU can apply to any—and more than one—mode of transport. The buyer and seller should specify and agree upon a named place of destination.
DPU requires the seller to clear goods for export, where applicable, without any obligation to clear the goods for import, pay import duty or carry out import customs formalities.
Specify the precise point of destination to unload and deliver goods.
