What is fob warehouse?

A FOB (Free On Board) warehouse refers to a shipping term where the seller is responsible for the goods until they are loaded onto a shipping vessel at a designated location. Once the goods are on board, the responsibility and ownership transfer to the buyer. This term is commonly used in international trade to clarify the point at which costs and risks shift from the seller to the buyer. Essentially, it helps both parties understand their obligations during the shipping process.
