The association focused on several issues related to the 30-day rule for invoices and how rules are applied to different situations and scenarios.
The association also asked if the FMC plans to include additional data elements for detention and demurrage outside the original 13 elements included in the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022. The NCBFAA also asked if the final rule requirements apply to rail storage charges (see 2403070061).
The FMC didn't immediately comment.
