FOB freight collect stands for Freight on Board paid for by the receiver of the goods upon arrival. North America shipping definitions and regulations differ from International shipping which is governed by Incoterm. More than likely, within the United States, FOB freight collect suggests that the sender of the goods is liable until the receiver takes possession by receiving and paying for the
. goods. It is no surprise that guidelines have been established and revised many times since the very early days of shipping by land, sea, and air. Although there is no Incoterm equivalent to FOB freight collect in North America at this time, anybody who is seriously involved with shipping goods must study the North America and Incoterm regulations.
