How to Use This Classification
- Confirm the specific sub-item within the woodenware group—separate finished utensils, decor, racks, or tool handles to avoid blanket reclassifications.
- Nest small parts, wrap finished surfaces with paper or foam, then pack in double-wall cartons. Palletize with corner boards and tight stretch wrap to prevent edge crush and overhang.
- Control moisture: line cartons with poly bags for unfinished wood and add “Keep Dry” labels. Avoid loading near chilled freight that can cause condensation.
- Document clearly: list piece counts and inner packs, note wood species if relevant, and add orientation or “Do Not Stack” labels for delicate carvings or lathe-turned bowls.
Business Value
- Precise grouping under woodenware reduces reclass fees and billing disputes at the dock.
- Non-hazardous designation streamlines paperwork and shortens tender-to-pickup cycles.
- Damage-resistant packing cuts claim rates on scuff-prone finishes, keeping returns and reships down.
- Clear item details improve LTL rate negotiations and help carriers plan cube and handling efficiently.
