How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. Package as complete kits in rigid boxes. Bag all fasteners, cushion brackets, and prevent hardware from piercing the carton with inner pads or partitions.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
