Are OTIs required to publish a tariff?
Freight forwarders are not required to publish tariffs. NVOCCs are required to publish tariffs. However, if a separately incorporated and licensed NVOCC branch office performs OTI services solely for the headquarters office, the branch office does not need to publish its own tariff. The branch office, in this instance, however, must still file an FMC-1 form and indicate the location of the headquarters tariff.
