Notes when using FOB (Free On Board) terms
Sellers and buyers should note that FOB terms only apply to shipping methods by sea and inland waterways. According to the regulations in FOB terms, even if the shipping company requires the seller to deliver the goods/deliver the container at an ICD or a major seaport, when the goods are on the ship, the seller is no longer responsible for all risks. Specifically, in cases where the shipping company requires the seller to unload the container at the ICD, the route from the ICD to the port is usually arranged by the shipping company itself because the shipping company and the seller cannot control the risks. return goods all the way.
If an unexpected risk occurs, the seller must be responsible, not the buyer. It can be roughly understood that the conflict here is that the shipping company (hired by the buyer) made a mistake in shipping from ICD to a major seaport, causing the goods to be damaged but the seller must bear this damage. Therefore, it should be noted that if the seller delivers goods by Container, the shipping company requires the seller to deliver the goods at ICD as above, then the seller should switch to using FCA terms instead of using FOB to be able to finish. responsibility immediately after delivering the goods to the shipping company at ICD.
