Board Game Shipping & Logistics Explained

Shipping and logistics are often the final—and most complex—stage of board game manufacturing. Understanding shipping terms, customs responsibilities, and fulfillment options helps creators avoid delays, unexpected costs, and delivery issues.

This guide explains common shipping terms and available logistics services for custom board game projects.

7.1 What Are the Shipping Terms? Who Handles Customs?

We offer flexible shipping options to match different business needs and experience levels.

FOB (Free On Board) – Most Common Option

Under FOB terms:

  • We deliver the finished goods to the designated port

  • You arrange the main transportation

  • You handle import customs clearance and duties

FOB is ideal for creators who already work with a freight forwarder or have logistics experience.


CIF and EXW Options

In addition to FOB, we can also quote:

  • CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight): We arrange shipping to your destination port

  • EXW (Ex Works): Goods are collected directly from our factory

Each option offers different levels of control and responsibility.


Freight Forwarder Support

If you don’t have a logistics partner, we can recommend reliable freight forwarders experienced in handling board game shipments worldwide.
