FOB, Free on board is the arrangement where seller needs to bear all the responsibilities (incl. freight and insurance) to bring the goods up to board for the loading them onto the specified ship.

Hence, the seller must get the goods ready for export and load them onto the specified ship.

However, FOB destination is the arrangement where seller must bear all the responsibilities up to the final destination.

Terms indicating that the seller will incur the delivery expense to get the goods to the destination. With terms of FOB destination the title to the goods usually passes from the seller to the buyer at the destination. This means that goods in transit should be reported as inventory by the seller, since technically the sale does not occur until the goods reach the destination.
