Bibhu FOB - Freight On Board.
bahodir Bibhu, no it is not.

FOB - free on board
teje fob shipping, think of when you buys goods, and pay shipping costs! if buyer pays shipping cost than risk/reward essentially passed on to buyer and the buyer must include it in his or her inventory
nostalgia upon googling, FOB seems to be able to stand for either Free on Board or Freight on Board (Free on Board internationally, and Freight on Board for North America).

doctubber jnptrsn1 - you need to distinguish between 'FOB shipping point' and 'FOB destination'
