NRA Management Services, Training and Support for NVOCCs
DMS Trade Services now offers express management options for NVOCC’s moving cargo under a Negotiated Rate Arrangement (NRA). Our staff can publish or amend your tariff rules to invoke the NRA exemption, pursuant to 46 CFR 532, allowing your operations even more flexibility in pricing options.
Combine the adaptable structure of Tariff Rate publication with the confidential, customized offering of an NRA for your most important business while remaining compliant with all FMC regulations. Pick and choose the best rate documentation option for your customers and business model by utilizing either the maximum flexibility of a TLI or the private, targeted design of an NRA. You're not locked into a single solution and can leverage the advantages of both products, so pick the one that best works for you!
Easy NRA Filing with No Additional Software Purchase Required
Our "DartSelect NRA" portal allows you to file, store and retrieve NRA documentation according to all FMC compliance standards. Publish and maintain your NRA Rules tariff with DMS Trade Services and access the following features:
- DartSelect NRA generator tool to create your Rate Arrangement
- Interactive database for managing NRA amendments and meeting FMC storage archiving requirements
- Free updated training/education materials for NRA focused compliance professionals

Hosting a conference/seminar/webinar for colleagues in the maritime industry and need someone in the field to provide additional perspective? Our training programs provide FMC consulting for overseas companies to support international staff.

For clients seeking a complete compliance solution, Dart Maritime also offers support through our FMC Registration & Onboarding services, guiding you step-by-step through the licensing and registration process, as well as our Tariff Publication & Maintenance services, which streamline the submission and upkeep of your shipping rates and classifications. Together, these services complement our consulting and training programs, ensuring your business remains fully compliant with all Federal Maritime Commission requirements. Otherwise, our team is happy to accommodate any individual requests for training, instruction, or professional development that fall within our scope of expertise, ensuring full US tariff filing requirement and FMC compliance. Due to sheer volume of service requests, availability at certain dates/times might be limited.
