How to Use This Classification
- Start at 83900 to identify the correct sub-item; review notes and choose among items 83902, 83903, or 83904 based on product type and packing (retail cartons, master packs, or pallets).
- Separate mixed assortments by material and fragility. For example, keep plastic action figures apart from plush toys to reduce compression and scuffing during LTL handling.
- Use sturdy corrugated master cartons with edge protection and stretch wrap for palletized board games; list piece counts and carton dimensions on the BOL for smooth inspections.
- If items include accessories, bag small parts inside cartons to prevent loss, and apply clear SKU and age-grade labels so carriers and consignees can verify contents quickly.
Business Value
- Accurate sub-item selection from 83902–83904 cuts reclass fees and prevents billing disputes tied to vague “toys” descriptions.
- Packaging matched to the note guidance lowers damage frequency on retail cartons, preserving sellable condition and avoiding chargebacks.
- Cleaner documentation (NMFC reference, counts, and carton sizes) speeds dock processing and reduces inspection delays, improving on-time performance.
- Better alignment with retailer routing guides enables more competitive LTL rates and predictable transportation costs across seasonal peaks.
