The seller delivers the goods into the custody of the first carrier, and this is where risk passes from seller to buyer. The buyer pays for the transportation.\n\n(In other words... When the carrier gets it, your responsable from then on.)\n\nbtw...  It actually means FREE CARRIER

FOB stands for "Free On Board", which's incorrectly noted as times at "Freight on Board".\n\nIt indicates that the seller pays fr the transportation costs to the port of shipment, as well as the loading costs. The buyer pays for the freight, insurance, loading etc from the port of arrival to the location.\n\nSee the Wiki link below.

(m)\n\nFOB: free on board\nat a named port of export where the seller quotes the buyer a price that covers all costs up to and including the loading of goods aboard a vessel\n\nCIF: cost, insurance, and freight\nused in international trade statistics and sales contracts. Transactions on cif basis mean the purchase price includes all costs of moving the goods from the point of embarkation to their destination. Until recently, most import data were given in cif terms; increasingly, they are being reported in fob terms.

Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier\nSmaller shippers, with less-than-containerload (LCL) shipments, can take advantage of the lower costs associated with being a big shipper. Non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs) book space on steamships in large quantities at lower rates and sell space to other shippers in smaller amounts. NVOCCs consolidate small shipments into containerloads that move under one bill of lading. More favorable rates are passed on to the shipper. Services typically offered by NVOCCs, in addition to customary services provided by freight forwarders, are: Consolidation of freight, and financial liability for goods due to loss or damage during transport. \nSo NVOCC liability Insurance would cover the NVOCC for loss or damage to the shipment they had arranged shipment for.

Yes\nFirearms Shipping Guide (last updated on 8/13/2005 4:23:56 AM)\n\nOverview\nThis page provides information about Federal Laws, step that must be followed, and notes on using specific shippers when shipping firearms. This page is oriented toward the seller of an item. If you need information about how to buy a firearm through GunBroker.com, please refer to our Buyer's Tutorial.\n\nThis page contains information oriented toward persons shipping firearms within the United States. For sellers located outside the United States, please see our Import / Export Page.\n\nShipping Legalities\nFederal Law requires that all modern firearms be shipped only to a holder of a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL). The recipient must be have an FFL; however the sender is not required to have one. Any person who is legally allowed to own a firearm is legally allowed to ship it to an FFL holder for any legal purpose (including sale or resale).\n\nHere is exactly what the ATF 'Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide' (ATF P 5300.4) says:\n(B9) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by carrier?\nA nonlicensee may ship a firearm by carrier to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U. S. C. 922( a)( 2)( A) and 922( e), 27 CFR 178.31]\n\nB8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U. S. Postal Service? [Back]\nA nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. A nonlicensee may not transfer any firearm to a nonlicensed resident of another state. The Postal Service recommends that longguns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms.\n\n'Antique' firearms need not be shipped to a licensed dealer. These can be shipped directly to the buyer. An antique firearm is a firearm built in or before 1898, or a replica thereof. The exact ATF definition of an antique firearm is:\nAntique firearm. (a) Any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898; and (b) any replica of any firearm described in paragraph (a) of this definition if such replica (1) is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition, or (2) uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.\n\nKnives, air guns, accessories, and most gun parts need not be shipped to an FFL holder. We say most gun parts because each firearm contains at least one part that the ATF considers a firearm. This part is typically the part that contains the serial number. This part must be treated as a complete firearm when shipping the item.\n\nAmmunition must be clearly identified as 'Small Arms Ammunition' on the outside of the box. Some shippers treat ammunition as dangerous or hazardous materials.\n\nThe section of the US Code that governs modern firearms is called Commerce in Firearms and Ammunition (CFA). This code is available online at: www.atf.treas.gov/regulations/27cfr178.html\n\nWhen in doubt, we suggest arranging for transfer through a licensed dealer. Violation of the CFA is a felony and penalties for violation of it are severe.\n\nFederal and State Law Resources\nThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) has a very comprehensive site containing information about the various Federal and state law

It usually defines when the cost for shipping a product one is purchasing will start. For instance, some products will be FOB at the manufacturer which means you pay the shipping from the manufacturer. Other items my be FOB at a point of entry into the country, and some may even be FOB all the way to your address. In general, it is used to help a manufacturer or distributor clearly state when  the costs of shipping start to be born by  buyer  since the costs can be so variable, particularly for larger items.

LDP means "landed-duty price" - The final price paid by a brand or licensee for finished goods, including shipping, duty, delivery, insurance, and customs clearance costs, is called the “Landed-Duty-Paid” (LDP) price.\n\nFOB means "freight on board" price - The price paid by a brand to a supplier facility at the factory door – before shipping and import fees – is known as the “Freight-on-Board” (FOB) price; it includes all labor and non-labor production costs of the factory, including factory overhead, cloth and other materials, labor, and profit.

If you are talking about a container full of stuff, call a shipping broker.  You also might want to contact a customs broker to help you get your stuff through customs.\n\nI used to use Tower Group International, before they were bought by FedEx.  They are now FedEx Trade Networks.\nhttp://www.ftn.fedex.com/?link=1

Dunno where you got this sentence from, but I can only make sense of it if I assume that there's a typing error and the writer means 'carrier' not 'barrier,' where 'carrier' is a method of transport (car, truck, plane, etc.).\n\nIn that case the sentence might be better written as:\n\n'Whether or not distance is related to the available means of transport is not clear, because only the most important carrier could be chosen.' \n\nWhoever wrote that should be taken out and shot. Hope I guessed right.

International shippers and banks generally use the standardized shipping terms called Incoterms.  There is no Incoterm given for CIT; however, it could be a deviation of CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), e.g. Cost, Insurance, and "Transport", or something like that.  CIF means that the contract cost includes these three items, delivered to the port of destination.  It is because of these deviations and the great importance of clear communication that Incoterms are normally required by international banks in order to avoid conflicts when demand of payment is being made, like when drawing on a letter of credit.\n\nIt could also possibly be the International Railway Transport Committee headquartered in Bern, Switzerland.  It "was founded in 1902 as a federation of railway and shipping companies, infrastructure operators and road hauliers, numbering 300 members today".  They are tasked to provide standardized legal relations between parties in rail transport in member countries.
