Shipping Information
Instruments are shipped in the manner agreed upon at the time of sale. There are
two categories of shipping: Origin (FOB) and Destination (FOB, CIP, or CIF).
Origin
For instruments shipped Ex-Works, also known as FOB (Free On Board) Origin,
damages incurred in shipment are the responsibility of the purchaser and the
carrier. However, Thermo Fisher Scientific will assist with filing claims and
(billable) repairs, if necessary.
