Dutch term or phrase: Af huis
Levering = af huis.

I thought that this was Ex Works but apparantly this is not what is meant. The only explanation that has been given is that the customer has to pay for the 'verzendkosten'.
Any help is much appreciated!

found two on Linguee:

Aan een buitenlandse opdrachtgever leveren wij, als niet anders is overeengekomen, franco af ‘huis’. = For a foreign client, the prices do not include the delivery fee, unless this has been agreed otherwise.

2. Tenzij uit de orderbevestiging het tegendeel blijkt, geschiedt de levering van zaken ‘franco af huis’. = Unless the order confirmation proves otherwise, delivery of items is not included in the price.

disagree  freekfluweel: zeer dubieuze en enige ref voor "af huis"...
14 hrs
  -> misschien onbetrouwbaar, maar er zijn nog een paar te vinden / from the few refs that I can find, it does indeed look like people are not sure what it means, if anything (see e.g: "mits het bestelbedrag LAGER is dan" + "bij. orders BOVEN")
