FOB Shipping from China – Ocean Freight Solutions for International Importers

FOB (Free on Board) is one of the most widely used international trade terms for ocean freight shipments from China. Under FOB terms, the Chinese supplier is generally responsible for delivering the goods on board the vessel at the agreed port of shipment, while the overseas buyer arranges the main international transportation.

At Shanghai Giant International Logistics, we help overseas importers manage FOB shipments from China by coordinating with Chinese suppliers, arranging ocean freight, and supporting shipping documentation and transportation to international destinations.

What Is FOB Shipping?

FOB (Free on Board) is an Incoterms trade term used for sea and inland waterway transportation.

Under FOB terms, the seller is generally responsible for export customs clearance and delivering the cargo on board the vessel nominated by the buyer at the agreed port of shipment. The risk of loss or damage transfers to the buyer once the goods are on board the vessel.

For international buyers sourcing products from China, FOB shipping allows them to select their own freight forwarder and manage the main ocean freight arrangements.

Our team helps coordinate these arrangements with suppliers and shipping partners in China.
