How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List the item on the BOL as “Kits, air conditioner condenser shading, NMFC 108005” and select Class 100; include carton count and any pallet detail.
- Package as complete kits in rigid boxes. Bag all fasteners, cushion brackets, and prevent hardware from piercing the carton with inner pads or partitions.
- Review the referenced Note, item 108006, to confirm the scope and ensure you’re rating the shading kit itself, not the AC unit or unrelated accessories.
- For multi-box shipments, unitize on a pallet with corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep cartons within the pallet footprint and label “This Side Up” if applicable.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with fixed Class 100—no density calculation, faster quoting, and fewer reclass surprises.
- Reduced claim exposure thanks to boxed-kit packaging that fits standard LTL handling and minimizes concealed damage.
- Clear compliance by citing NMFC 108005 and Note 108006, which lowers inspection disputes and billing corrections.
- Streamlined HVAC logistics: ship shading kits alongside equipment orders on one pallet to cut touches and accessorials.
