How to Use This Classification

  • Use this group as an index, then pick the exact NMFC item for what you’re shipping (e.g., tentage, webbing, mess kits, cot frames) and list that item on the BOL.
  • For mixed pallets, line-item each commodity or declare the dominant NMFC with quantities and weights; attach a packing list to avoid reclass and delays.
  • If the chosen item is density-based, measure each handling unit and record L x W x H and weight (e.g., tri-wall 48x40x30 at 180 lb) to set the right class.
  • Package to military-grade expectations: banded pallets for hardware, crates for metal parts, poly-lined cartons for textiles; mark contents clearly and include the specific NMFC items.

Business Value

  • Avoid reclass and rebill fees by using item-specific NMFC codes instead of the group header.
  • Unlock sharper LTL rates and FAK tiers with precise item numbers and accurate packaging details.
  • Speed up quoting and tendering when each line lists the proper NMFC, packaging type, and measured density where applicable.
  • Improve claims outcomes through clear itemization and fit-for-purpose packaging that reduces transit damage disputes.
