Freight Terms:

a) FOB Shipping point, 1/10, n/30 means that the seller's legal liability for the goods ends at shipping point where responsibility moves to the buyer.  There is also a cash discount of 1% when the buyer pays within 10, but the net credit period is 30 days.  Usually, after the 30-day period, the sale attracts interest.

b) FOB Destination, 2/10, n/30 means that the seller's legal liability for the goods ends at the buyer's dock.  There is a cash discount of 2% to encourage payment within 10 days, but the credit period expires after 30 days.
