How to Use This Classification
- Match your parts to the group: note if the shipment is architectural millwork (trim, casings, stair treads) or ships’ joiner pieces (bulkhead panels, cap rails), and confirm the specific item NMFC under this group before tender.
- Protect long, delicate profiles: bundle by length with edge protectors, use a plywood top cap, and place bundles on skids with three stringers for pieces over 96 inches to avoid overlength handling and bending damage.
- Control moisture and finish risk: wrap with poly, add desiccant for marine-bound freight, and mark Keep Dry; finished or veneered wood should be paper-interleaved and corner-guarded to prevent scuffs.
- Document counts and orientation: list piece count, max length, and whether stacks are safe to top-load; label by project room or set (e.g., Stair 2 – Rail A) to speed jobsite receiving.
Business Value
- Cleaner quotes, fewer reclasses: using the Building Woodwork group as your reference helps brokers and carriers zero in on the correct item record and class for wood components.
- Lower claim exposure: upgrading from loose bundles to crated or capped skids dramatically cuts edge crush and surface defects common with trim and moldings.
- Avoid avoidable accessorials: standardizing bundle lengths under 96 in and improving stackability reduces overlength and non-stackable fees, improving rate per CWT.
- Smoother installs, less detention: clearly labeled sets for millwork or joiner kits shorten unloading and staging at jobsites or shipyards, reducing wait time and redelivery risk.
