How to Use This Classification

  • Start by reviewing Note item 49791 and match your apparel type (t‑shirts, denim, uniforms, knitwear) to the correct subheading and stated packaging condition.
  • Select packaging that aligns with the note: cartons with poly‑bagged units, compressed bales on pallets, or hanging garments on racks; document pallet size and stackability.
  • Write a precise BOL line, e.g., “Clothing Group per NMFC 49790; see Note 49791; garments, cotton/poly blend; packed in corrugated cartons on 48x40 pallet,” with counts and NMFC refs.
  • Capture photos and measurements of each handling unit; include item and note numbers on rate requests so carriers quote the correct class and avoid reclass debates.

Business Value

  • Reduces reclassification and rebill risk by aligning descriptions and packaging with the cross‑referenced note’s rules.
  • Improves rate accuracy since apparel risk factors (snagging, soiling, crushability) are addressed through compliant packaging and clear commodity naming.
  • Speeds quoting and tendering across many SKUs by using a single Clothing Group reference that funnels details through Note 49791.
  • Cuts claims and delays by choosing protective methods for fabrics, trims, and hangers that carriers readily accept.
