Determine what type of FMC-OTI license is right for your business.

There are two FMC Ocean Transportation Intermediaries ( OTI ) license types: NVOCC

and Freight-Forwarder:

NVOCC license: Allows the license to buy ocean freight at wholesale prices

from Ocean Carriers (VOCCs) and sell it to his customers at retail prices.

Ocean Freight Forwarders license: Allows the License to make shipping

arrangements and prepare shipping documentation for freight using the

services of Ocean Carriers. The Forwarder may collect forwarding commissions from the Ocean Carriers, but can not sign service agreements with Ocean Carriers.
