Verify an FMC ocean freight forwarder or NVOCC license
Ocean freight forwarders and NVOCCs (non-vessel-operating common carriers) are regulated by the Federal Maritime Commission under the Shipping Act of 1984. Search the FMC's official list of licensed and bonded companies by name or license number.

Foreign-based NVOCCs appear on the list without a U.S. license number. A company that does not appear may be listed under another name.
