FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[DOCKET NO. 25-04]


China United Lines, Ltd., Complainant v. Amazon.com Services LLC; 
Amazon Logistics Inc.; and Beijing Century Joyo Courier Service Co., 
Ltd., Respondents; Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment

Served: January 17, 2025.
    Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal 
Maritime Commission (the ``Commission'') by China United Lines, Ltd. 
(the ``Complainant'') against Amazon.com Services LLC, Amazon Logistics 
Inc., and Beijing Century Joyo Courier Service Co., Ltd. (the 
``Respondents''). 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 Respondents as non-vessel-operating common carriers, as defined in 
46 U.S.C. 40102, and as persons, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 41102.
    Complainant is a foreign entity existing under the laws of the 
People's Republic of China with its principal place of business located 
in Shanghai, China.
    Complainant identifies Respondent Amazon.com Services LLC as a 
limited liability company existing under the laws of the State of 
Delaware with a business address in Seattle, Washington.
    Complainant identifies Respondent Amazon Logistics Inc. as an 
entity existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its 
principal place of business located in Seattle, Washington.
    Complainant identifies Respondent Beijing Century Joyo Courier 
Service Co., Ltd. as a foreign entity existing under the laws of the 
People's Republic of China with an address located in Beijing, China.
    Complainant alleges that Respondents violated 46 U.S.C. 41102(a) 
and (c) and 41104(a)(1) and (a)(2). Complainant alleges these 
violations arose from Respondents' attempt to obtain ocean 
transportation at less than the applicable rates or charges by 
attempting to revise the reason for their termination of their service 
contract with Complainant to avoid paying liquidated damages, and other 
acts or omissions by Respondents.
    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 https://www2.fmc.gov/readingroom/proceeding/25-04/. This proceeding has been assigned to the Office of 
Administrative Law Judges. The initial decision of the presiding judge 
shall be issued by January 20, 2026, and the final decision of the 
Commission shall be issued by August 3, 2026.

David Eng,
Secretary.
