Free on board (FOB) is a shipping term that indicates whether the seller or buyer will be responsible for ensuring that goods are safely loaded onto a vessel at the port of shipment.
For example, a Canadian importer orders goods from a Chinese supplier on FOB Shanghai terms, meaning the seller is responsible for loading the goods onto the ship in Shanghai, after which all shipping costs, insurance, and risk transfer to the buyer.
