How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Declare NMFC 108590 and Class 77.5 on the BOL; this item is fixed-class, so no density calculation is needed.
- Pack hardware in sturdy corrugated boxes with dividers or inner cartons to protect finishes; bag loose screws and rosettes inside each unit carton.
- Bundle by SKU and clearly mark counts (e.g., 200 brass knobs in 10 inner boxes) to streamline receiving and reduce miscount disputes.
- For e‑commerce or cabinet shop replenishment, use a master carton with foam or paper void fill; keep box dimensions tight to avoid cubic surcharges.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with a set Class 77.5 reduces reclass fees and keeps LTL quotes consistent.
- Damage reduction for finished hardware via boxed packaging and dividers lowers claims and replacement costs.
- Non-hazardous status speeds carrier acceptance and broadens network options, improving transit reliability.
- Box-optimized packing stacks cleanly on pallets, improving dock efficiency and minimizing accessorial risks.
