How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Write the BOL exactly: “Blue chrome splits, partially tanned, moisture ≥30%, in packages — NMFC 110620, Class 70.”
- Use moisture-resistant packaging: poly-lined cartons or sealed bags inside sturdy boxes; add pallet liners to prevent seepage and keep away from paper or food items.
- Palletize on 40×48 GMA pallets with banding and stretch wrap; add corner boards and limit stack height to about 48 inches to avoid compression and weeping.
- Choose faster LTL service in hot/humid seasons and request trailers free of high-heat exposure to reduce odor, staining, and product degradation.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 70 (no density rating) streamlines quoting and keeps LTL costs predictable for tanneries, footwear, and upholstery supply chains.
- Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and special paperwork, enabling standard network routing and broader carrier options.
- Precise commodity naming and moisture-safe packaging cut reclass, OS&D claims, and accessorials tied to leaks or contamination.
- Consistent “packages” presentation supports consolidation with other leather goods, improving cube use and reducing per‑unit freight spend.
