FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION
[Docket No. 25-16]
IWG International Wood Group of SC and Honest Trading
International LLC, Complainants v. DB Schenker USA, Inc., Respondent;
Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment
Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by IWG International Wood
Group of SC and Honest Trading International LLC (the ``Complainants'')
against DB Schenker USA, Inc. (the ``Respondent''). Complainants state
that the Commission has jurisdiction over the complaint pursuant to the
Shipping Act of 1984, as amended, 46 U.S.C. 41102(c), 41301-41309, and
jurisdiction over Respondent as a regulated non-vessel-operating common
carrier engaging in international ocean transport.
Complainant IWG International Wood Group of SC is a limited
liability company organized and existing under the laws of the state of
South Carolina with its principal place of business located in South
Carolina.
Complainant Honest Trading International LLC is a limited liability
company existing and organized under the laws of the state of Georgia
with its principal place of business in Georgia.
Complainants identify Respondent as an ocean transportation
intermediary and non-vessel-operating common carrier with a business
address in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Complainants allege that Respondent violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(c) and
41104(a)(2). Complainants allege these violations arose from
Respondent's mishandling of five shipments contracted by Complainants,
across which Respondent misrouted letters of credit, untimely issued
draft and final versions of bills of lading, failed to remedy financial
discrepancies between the parties, and other acts or omissions by
Respondent.
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/25-16/">https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/25-16/</a>. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge
shall be issued by August 7, 2026, and the final decision of the
Commission shall be issued by February 22, 2027.
(Authority: 46 U.S.C. 41301; 46 CFR 502.61(c).)
Served: August 7, 2025.
David Eng,
Secretary.
