How to Use This Classification

  • Match each SKU to the correct sub-item within the Automobile Parts Group and review Note, item 17802. Distinguish body panels, electrical modules, glass, and driveline pieces before booking.
  • Package by geometry and fragility: sensors/ECUs in foam-lined cartons, heavy cast iron parts strapped to a pallet, fenders with corner protection, and wheels bagged and banded.
  • Prep used components: drain and cap fluids, clean residues, and wrap sharp edges. Exclude airbags or inflators; those require separate hazmat handling.
  • Provide exact handling-unit dimensions and weight, list make/model/year for traceability, and mark BOL with “NMFC 17800 – Automobile Parts Group” for fast dock routing.

Business Value

  • Fewer reclasses and disputes by aligning mixed auto parts under the proper group with clear notes and packaging.
  • Lower damage rates through tailored packing methods for castings, electronics, and body panels, reducing claims and cycle time.
  • Better LTL economics by consolidating diverse SKUs on a single pallet while maintaining item-level identification.
  • Quicker receiving and quoting when carriers see clean paperwork with NMFC 17800 and accurate weights and dimensions.
