NORATE

NORATE Carrier functions as a non-rate carrier, meaning it doesn't maintain its pricing structure. This carrier service is offered entirely free of charge, allowing NORATE to offer a competitive advantage to its customers, regardless of the size or complexity of their shipments.

To establish a NORATE carrier account, users must possess a valid Carrier ID.

To complete the registration process for a NORATE carrier account, an API request is initiated, containing all the necessary information. Below is an example of such a request.

{
    "carrierID": "NORATE",
    "description": "NORATE via API"
}

If the request to create a NORATE carrier account is approved, the resulting response will resemble the provided Sample Response below.
