: I agree that this makes sense, but would still seek clarification from the client as the FR text, IMO, does not really make sense.

: This seems the best pragmatic (rather than blind literal) interpretation, assuming there is no error/omission in the source text: I would echo Rob's observation.

Many thanks Catharine. I usually translate "tarif en vigueur" as "rate in force", but your suggestion is equally fine.

: I have no idea what "price negotiated by the rate" means. IMO, the only way to be sure of a correct translation here is to ask the client for clarification.//Recent and expired. My comment is purely linguistic in nature.

Of course, it is all subjective and a matter of opinion. Even though it is a word for word translation, as you correctly suggest, it makes sense to me.

or 'at the agreed price as per the pricelist'
Discussion
I would have expected either "at the negotiated price" or "according to the «tarif» prevailing on the date of dispatch". I wonder if it's possible there's an «ou» or a «/» missing?
As Rob has commented elsewhere, I think it would be worth seeking clarification if you can.
