How to Use This Classification
- Confirm the exact tool or part and map it to the named NMFC item referenced in Note 183551; include manufacturer model numbers or SKU descriptions to avoid reclass.
- Package according to the item: sheath sharp edges on hand tools, use foam blocking for housings or motors, and place mixed small parts in divided cartons before palletizing.
- When quoting, reference NMFC 183550 as the group and note the intended named item per Note 183551, along with final packaging, weight, and dimensions for accurate LTL rates.
- Attach spec sheets or photos to the BOL and keep a SKU-to-NMFC matrix for recurring shipments so carriers see how each tool or part aligns with the named item.
Business Value
- Reduces reclass and rebill exposure by guiding teams to the correct named item under Note 183551 before tendering freight.
- Speeds up pricing and routing decisions by standardizing how diverse tools and parts are identified and packaged.
- Lowers damage claims with packaging matched to tool geometry, minimizing movement, abrasion, and edge punctures in transit.
- Creates scalable compliance for large catalogs, enabling consistent NMFC usage across SKUs and smoother TMS rating and audits.
