FOB Shipping
Free On Board — you control the main freight
Under FOB terms, we handle export customs clearance and loading at the origin port in China. Once the goods are on board, responsibility (and freight booking) transfers to you or your freight forwarder at destination.

How It Works
Quote & booking
You confirm product, quantity and destination port — we return an FOB price for the China leg.
Origin pickup & export customs
We collect from your supplier or our warehouse in China and file export declarations.
Loading at origin port
We load the cargo onto the vessel or aircraft you've booked at the China port.
Handover to your forwarder
Responsibility transfers to you once cargo is on board at origin — you or your destination freight forwarder handle the onward journey from there. We're happy to coordinate directly with them if useful.
