No! The industry is regulated by the Federal Maritime Commission for ocean shipping and every company offering ocean shipping must be licensed by the FMC and have a bond in place. Air Parcel Express, Inc. (APX) has two licenses. We are both a NVOCC and a Freight Forwarder. The TSA and the FAA regulate air cargo in the USA. APX is fully licensed as an I.A.C. and trained to handle air cargo shipments from any airport in the USA to worldwide destinations. APX operates all cargo aircrafts from Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas and Miami. APX operates feeder routes from all other airports in the USA. Never pay a broker for ocean shipping. Your contract and payment should always be with the NVOCC.
