The impact of FMC qualification on international freight transportation is as follows:
1. Compliance and Legitimacy
Legal business: Logistics providers with FMC qualification can legally and legally engage in NVOCC business in the U.S., and directly inquire with shipping companies to get the best price and sign high-quality berths.
Avoid legal risks: Logistics providers without FMC qualification are not protected and regulated by U.S. freight regulations, and are unable to provide sellers with legal compliance protection. Once reported, they will be investigated by the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) and fined tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars, and the name of the forwarder will be published on the FMC website, which will affect the company's brand and credit.
2.Operation and Cost
Transparent freight: FMC qualification can ensure the reasonableness of the pricing, avoiding the situation of affecting the customer experience due to the haphazard pricing, and also protecting the basic rights and interests of sellers.
Cost saving: FMC qualification can have a 24-hour declaration service system to submit AMS/ISF and other declaration information, and keep track of cargo declaration, customs clearance status and cargo information, which greatly saves costs.
