If you are a Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC), the alternatives to publishing an ocean freight rate in your FMC tariff are: 

• Negotiated Rate Arrangements (NRAs) and
• NVOCC Service Arrangements (NSAs). 

NRAs and NSAs are customer-specific rate agreements. NRAs and NSAs must meet specific formatting, timing, and record-keeping requirements. NRAs and NSAs must also be made available to the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission for inspection upon request.  

Learn more about NRAs, NSAs, tariff rate filing, and FMC Tariffs on the DPI Knowledge Center. Click here for more information about how DPI can help your organization comply with FMC’s tariff regulations.
