Portuguese term or phrase: remessa livre
propus a entrega dos artigos em regime de remessa livre sobre um plafon

this comes from a letter about importing footwear/tanned leather into Portugal from Pakistan. Any help greatly appreciated.

I know that remessa livre means sending the items without advanced payment or cash on delivery, but just don't know how this is said in English.

Explanation:
I believe this is when the sender of a certain letter/parcel encloses a pre-paid envelope to be used by the receiver.
Hope it helps.

I think this is what it means. The postage is actually paid by the "Receiver" and there is no need to put stamps on the package/mail.
