NMFC 101560 - Humidors in boxes (non-display) | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use a double-wall outer carton with an inner carton and at least 2 inches of cushioning; protect hinges, hygrometers, and corners with foam or edge guards.
2. Bag the humidor to prevent scuffs, add a small desiccant, and block the lid to avoid latch stress; keep trays or dividers secured to prevent rattling.
3. For multiple units, master-pack in uniform boxes and palletize with corner boards; apply stretch wrap without crushing and avoid running straps directly over cartons.
4. Mark Fragile and This Side Up to protect the finish and seals; avoid hot loading zones and top-stacking to reduce warping risk during transit.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Fixed Class 100 rating eliminates density disputes, enabling faster, predictable LTL quotes across carriers.
• Boxed packaging qualifies for standard handling, helping avoid crating surcharges and reducing accessorial exposure.
• Proper cushioning and blocking cut damage claims on premium wood finishes, preserving retail value and customer satisfaction.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines tendering and residential delivery options, shortening transit planning and reducing administrative overhead.
