DOES THE PRICE INCLUDE LOGISTICS?

NBA quotes prices on FOB, placing the responsibility for freight with the client. Nevertheless, our expansive network of worldwide logistics partners allows us to seamlessly coordinate all shipping arrangements on behalf of our clients. In our commitment to transparency and service excellence, we present logistics costs at net, as we do not see the benefit of making a margin on freight. All costs are based on service, whether by air or sea, with rates quoted based on the market rates at the time of shipment.

WHAT DOES ‘FOB’ MEAN?

‘FOB means "Freight On Board." It's a shipping term indicating who pays transportation costs and assumes responsibility for the goods when they are shipped. When a shipment is designated as FOB, it specifies at which point ownership of the goods transfers from the seller to the buyer. For example, if a garment is sold FOB Origin, the buyer takes responsibility for the goods and the associated transportation costs from the moment they are loaded onto the transportation vessel (such as a ship or a truck) at the seller's location.
