Event Summary:

This course provides a practical overview of FMC compliance for NVOCCs, freight forwarders, and logistics companies handling U.S. ocean freight. The session focuses on tariff rules, rate filings, NRAs, HBLs, invoices, and shipment documentation from an operational and compliance perspective.

With FMC requirements, enforcement expectations, and customer disputes becoming more active, many companies may not realize that their tariff setup and actual shipment practices do not fully align. This bootcamp will walk attendees through common issues that create exposure and the steps companies can take now to reduce risk before an audit, penalty, or dispute arises.
