| NOS/NES |
Not otherwise specified/Not elsewhere specified.
This term often appears in ocean or airfreight tariffs respectively.
If no rate for the specific commodity shipped appears in the
tariff, then a general class rate (for example, "printed matter
NES") will apply. Such rates usually are higher than rates for
specific commodities. |
NVOCC
 |
Non-vessel operating common carrier. A
firm that offers the same services as an ocean carrier, but
which does not own or operate a vessel. NVOCCs usually act as
consolidators, accepting small shipments (LCL) and consolidating
them into full containerloads. They then act as a shipper, tendering
the containers to ocean common carriers. They are required to
file tariffs with the Federal Maritime commission and are subject
to the same laws and statutes that apply to primary common carriers. |
