What FOB means here
The named port matters as much as the price.
Under an FOB sale, the vehicle is delivered on board the vessel at the named Chinese port under the agreed Incoterms® rule.
The quotation and sales contract must identify the port and rule—for example, FOB Shanghai Port, China — Incoterms® 2020. Risk, documents and costs should not be inferred from the letters “FOB” alone.
Quotation boundary
Written into every offer.
The actual quotation controls. Charges should be itemized or clearly identified as included, excluded or quoted separately.

Freight rates change by route, carrier, vessel schedule, vehicle size and quotation date.
Nominate your forwarder
The vehicle can be handed over according to the agreed instructions of the buyer’s freight forwarder.
Confirm before booking
Handover point, documentation, cut-off time and charges must be agreed before shipment.
Estimated China-side timing
Available vehicles: generally 10–20 days to the agreed port.
The estimate begins after the contract is signed, the required deposit is received and the vehicle specification is confirmed. Factory-order vehicles remain subject to the manufacturer’s production schedule.
Customs inspection, documentation, inland transport and port conditions may affect the final date.
FOB is not used for every route
Horgos is a land border, not a seaport.
Vehicles moving through Horgos require a separately agreed land-delivery term and cross-border transport arrangement. They should not be advertised as “FOB Horgos.”

Check these before signing.
Is ocean freight included in an FOB quote?
No. Main ocean freight is normally arranged by the buyer or quoted separately. Any different arrangement must appear in writing.
Can I use my own freight forwarder?
Yes. The forwarder’s contact, booking instructions, documentation needs and handover point should be provided before shipment.
Is FOB always suitable for container shipments?
Not always. If the vehicle is handed to a carrier at a terminal before it is loaded on board, the parties should confirm whether FCA better matches the actual delivery process.
When is the final payment due?
The balance must be cleared before container loading or the shipment milestone written into the sales contract.
