payment of freight charges, and 2) the point a twhich title for the shipment passes from seller
to buyer.The FOB location terms, Origin and Destination, may be qualified by modifiers. The

Prepaid & Add, and Prepaid & Allow. Collect: The carrier collects the transportation chargesfrom the buyer. Prepaid & Add: The seller prepays the transportation charges, but adds the
