agree  Cristóbal del Río Faura: Correcto, FOB = franco a bordo (en Esp. decimos franco).
4 hrs

agree  Pamela Peralta: De acuerdo con Cristobal 'franco a bordo' El término FOB exige que el vendedor despache la mercancía de exportación. Nunca escuché de 'freight on board' tampoco ni tampoco un ingeniero hermano mío para quien ésto es pan de cada día.
