How to Use This Classification
- Confirm the item is hand-operated (no power source) and note materials—e.g., steel head with wood or fiberglass handle—to select the correct named NMFC under this group.
- Match packaging to form: bundle equal-length hoes/rakes with edge guards and stretch-wrap; box pruning shears or small parts in sturdy cartons; crate heavy cast heads.
- Provide piece count, total weight, and outer dimensions per handling unit (carton, bundle, pallet) for accurate LTL quoting, since this group has no fixed class.
- Ship implements clean and dry with no fuels or chemicals. For sprayer wands, send components only—no tanks or residual liquids.
Business Value
- Precise grouping minimizes reclass fees and keeps seasonal farm supply shipments moving on time.
- Protective bundling and edge guarding cut damage and claim costs on low-margin hand tools.
- Palletizing mixed SKUs under one grouping streamlines dock handling and can yield better LTL rates.
- Non-hazardous status simplifies paperwork and reduces accessorial exposure versus powered equipment.
