FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 24-22]


Giti Tire (USA) Ltd., Complainant v. Flexport International LLC, 
Respondent; Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

Served: May 20, 2024.
    Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal 
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by Giti Tire (USA) Ltd. (the 
``Complainant'') against Flexport International LLC (the 
``Respondent''). Complainant states that the Commission has subject 
matter jurisdiction over the complaint pursuant to the Shipping Act of 
1984, as amended, 46 U.S.C. 40101 et seq. and personal jurisdiction 
over the Respondent as a non-vessel-operating common carrier, as 
defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(17).
    Complainant is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of 
business located in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
    Complainant identifies Respondent as a Delaware limited liability 
company with a principal place of business in San Fransisco, 
California.
    Complainant alleges that Respondent violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c), 
41104(a)(14), 41104(a)(15), and 41104(d) and 46 CFR 545.4 and 545.5. 
Complainant alleges these violations arose from the issuance of 
invoices for detention and demurrage charges that did not contain the 
information required under 46 U.S.C. 41104(d)(2), for charges that were 
already invoiced to other parties, and for charges that were excessive 
or unreasonable.
    An answer to the complaint must be filed with the Commission within 
25 days after the date of service.
    The full text of the complaint can be found in the Commission's 
electronic Reading Room at <a href="https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/24-22/">https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/24-22/</a>. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of 
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge 
shall be issued by May 20, 2025, and the final decision of the 
Commission shall be issued by December 4, 2025.

David Eng,
Secretary.
