Title: NVOCCs or freight forwarders?——Comments on the new development of Chinese Regulations of International Maritime Transportation
Abstract: After the entry into WTO, the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on International Maritime Transportation as well as its Implementing Rules had come into force in 1 January 2002 and 1 March 2003 separately. Before that, some regulations on freight forwarding had been promulgated. What the difference between one freight forwarder and one NVOCC? How to identify one operator performed in international maritime transport correctly? This paper points out the conflicts between them on the basis of general introduction of Chinese regulations and rules as well as some foreign laws. Hopefully, the problems may be solved in near future.
