Quotes for all international import and export transportation of goods, if accepted by customer, shall constitute a Negotiated Rate Agreement (NRA), for purposes of satisfying the requirements of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) and any other applicable regulatory agencies.

This NRA is a living document intended to allow IGL Logistics to meet FMC requirements imposed on all NVOCC’s (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers), to document their rates, and for customers to acknowledge & accept those rates.  This is done to protect the shipping public.  The FMC allows NVOCC’s to determine whether they will document rates publicly, via tariff database; or privately, via Confidential Negotiated Rate Agreements.  In an effort to preserve the integrity of our customers’ private & proprietary business and financial information, as well as to streamline your acceptance of such rates, IGL Logistics has elected to utilize the below NRA, which is incorporated by reference into the quote document you have been provided separately.

The below information is incorporated into the terms of the NRA for each and every transaction, full-container, less-than-container, or individual piece, for which the transportation of cargo is to be facilitated and billable by IGL Logistics to our customers.  Separate tariffs, agreements, and/or IGL policies may also govern charges associated with your customer account.
