a chinese trading company E concluded a transaction in steel with a hongkong company W on the basis of FOB China Port .company W immediately resold the steel to company H in libya on the terms of CFR Liberia. the L/C from W required the price terms to be FOB China Port and the goods to be directly delivered to Liberia. the L/C also requird "freight prepaid" to be indicated on bill of lading.whydid company W perform so ?what should we do about it?

In this case the contract was concluded between Company E and Company W on FOB term, according to which the seller (Company E) ended his responsibilities when he delivered the goods on board the ship at the port of shipment. He did not need to pay for transportation of the goods or the insurance premium. Therefore, it was not right for W to ask E to pay the freight and indicate “Freight Repaid” on the Bill of Lading. The reason why W asked E to do that might be that he wanted to transfer the freight charges to E.
However, in practical dealings, foreign trade companies often come across such situations, especially when a contract is concluded with an agent, who wants to resells the goods. In this case, E might comply with W’s request, but he had to indicated that the freight should be borne by W.

let me try. Charge the extra freight from W by putting it into the Invoice, making notes price based on FOB China port. Ask W to confirm. Can this work? Or ask customer to amend t
