For FOB shipments, seller and buyer coordination at the named port is central to the shipping instructions. Cargo readiness and booking information must reach the responsible parties in time.

What to confirm

Give the forwarder the agreed port and origin scope, then confirm how shipment updates will be shared.

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.
