NOTICE TO TARIFF USERS
Carrier has opted to be exempt from tariff publication requirements 46 CFR §§520, 531, 532 and OSRA 2022. In that respect Carrier has opted for exclusive use of Negotiated Rate Arrangements (“NRAs”).
NVOCC NRA means the written and binding arrangement between an NRA shipper or consignee and eligible NVOCC to provide specific transportation service for a stated cargo quantity, from origin to destination on and after receipt of the cargo by the Carrier or its agent (originating carrier in the case of through Transportation). Carrier may issue written quotations, booking confirmations, e-mail communications and other writings with applicable rates and charges for the shipments subject of the NRA, and shipper must provide the Carrier with a signed agreement, or send carrier a written communication, including an email, indicating acceptance of the NRA terms, or book a shipment after receiving the NRA terms from the Carrier. NOTE: “THE SHIPPER’S BOOKING OF CARGO AFTER RECEIVING THE TERMS OF THIS NRA OR NRA AMENDMENT CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THE RATES AND TERMS OF THIS NRA OR NRA AMENDMENT.” The terms contained in the NRA writings shall be a valid offer for 30 days (or a date agreed to by the parties) from the booking date, unless otherwise rescinded by the Carrier prior to receiving Shipper’s cargo. Carrier’s or Carrier’s agent’s receipt of cargo for the shipment constitutes final acceptance by Shipper or Consignee of the NRA offer, and the terms of the NRA shall bind the parties. All applicable origin and destination local terminal and/or port charges shall be for the account of the cargo. The NRA may be amended after the time the initial shipment is received by the NVOCC, but such changes may only apply prospectively to shipments not yet received by the NVOCC. For any pass-through charge for which a specific amount is not included in the NRA or the rules tariff, the NVOCC may invoice the shipper for charges the NVOCC incurs, with no markup. The NRA may list the additional surcharges or assessorial charges, including pass-through charges, or reference specific surcharges or assessorial charges in the NVOCC’s rules tariff.
