FOB

The buyer and seller must reach an agreement on who is responsible for paying any freight costs and who bears the risk of loss during transit when the merchandise is being shipped. This question basically asks, “At what point does ownership transfer from the buyer to the seller?” The point of transfer is called the FOB point, and FOB stands for free on board.
