When a sale uses FOB, both parties need a clear named port and coordinated vessel and cargo handover information. The forwarder's work should match the responsibilities agreed in the sale contract.

What to confirm

Record who books the main carriage and who provides the origin documents, then check how the cargo reaches the loading point.

Prepare these details

• Agreed rule, version and named place or port
• Buyer and seller responsibilities in the sale agreement
• Origin and destination tasks included in the freight quote
• Responsible contacts for documents and operational handovers

Plan the next step with FDD

Send the relevant details with your enquiry. FDD can review transport and cargo preparation options, confirm the information still needed, and explain the proposed scope before booking.
