That means, if any damage occurs to the products during the transportation process (from the exporter\u2019s warehouse to the port of origin or named place), the exporter will pay the price.<\/p><p>But once the commodities come under the supervision of the buyer\u2019s chosen carrier, any damage or loss will be the buyer&#8217;s responsibility.<\/p><p>Comparatively, FCA is easy on exporters. The risk is immediately gone to the importer when the exporter delivers goods at the port of origin.<\/p><p>If the vessel sinks or goods are damaged or missing when the vessel arrives at the destination port, the buyer cannot blame the seller nor demand any compensation.<\/p><p>But as FOB agreements make sellers responsible for keeping products on the ship at the origin port, therefore, until the goods are loaded on a vessel, they will have to pay the price for any damaged or lost goods. But once, the goods are on board, the risk shifts from the exporter to the
