NMFC 107837 - Jewelry & Precious Stones | Class 0

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity as NMFC 107837, Class 0 on the BOL with a clear description such as “jewelry (non-costume) or precious/semiprecious stones,” and include declared value for liability.
2. Pack items in a rigid inner case or lockbox, place that inside an unmarked corrugated carton with dense foam, and use tamper-evident seals; for loose stones, seal gem parcels in a padded container before boxing.
3. Palletize multi-piece orders in a fully enclosed crate or a strapped, corner-protected pallet to prevent pilferage and shifting; avoid exterior labels that advertise jewelry content.
4. Select carriers that accept high-value commodities, request adult signature and appointment delivery, and add cargo insurance beyond standard LTL limits to close the coverage gap.

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

• Fixed Class 0 simplifies rating and quoting, reducing reclass fees and billing disputes.
• Clear NMFC use and precise descriptions lower claim denials and keep audits clean.
• Security-focused packaging and chain-of-custody options reduce shrink, preserving margin on high-value goods.
• Choosing direct-linehaul or limited-handling services can cost more per load but materially cuts loss risk and reputational damage.
