F.A.B. (Franco à bord)


Explanation:
A few references:

" Incoterms

FOB, CIF and CFR are incoterms (International Commercial Terms)
aiming at uniformizing a number of data concerning responsibility during
transport in order to avoid different interpretations by different systems
and countries.

Basically the incoterms determine who does what at a sale (e.g. responsibility for documents, delivery, payment of costs, bearing riscs).

FOB : Free on Board : The seller brings the goods and the documents required to the place mentioned by the seller. The riscs are transferred on the moment of the delivery on the place agreed upon. The seller pays the shipping costs.
