How to Use This Classification

  • Use this group as your starting point, then map the item to a specific sub-item by material and construction (plastic trays, metal racks, corrugated carriers, textile inserts).
  • Document condition and purpose: empty or loaded, new or used, one-way or returnable. These notes determine which sub-item applies under the group.
  • Describe packing clearly for your BOL, for example: “Plastic parts carriers, empty, nested 100 per carton, 4 cartons on one 48x40 pallet, stretch-wrapped.”
  • Reference Note, item 40772, to confirm scope and inclusions, and include count, palletization, and protective materials to avoid misrating.

Business Value

  • Accurate sub-item selection under this group minimizes reclass fees and unexpected rate adjustments.
  • Clear identification as empty shipping carriers speeds dock handling and reduces inspection delays.
  • Consistent use of the group note (40772) supports contract pricing and FAK negotiations across similar carrier types.
  • Right-fit classification improves quote precision, helping you benchmark and control LTL costs.
