How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Verify you’re shipping flat leather “pancake” blanks or discs and pack them as packages (cartons or crates). Interleave sheets to prevent scuffs and dye transfer.
- Keep stacks flat; do not roll or bend. Fill voids and cap with chipboard to avoid strap marks, then stretch-wrap and strap to a pallet for LTL moves.
- Guard against moisture: use poly liners or kraft wrap and desiccant in humid lanes. Label cartons with NMFC 110720, Class 70, piece count, and diameters/thickness.
- Class is fixed at 70 (no density rating). Put the NMFC item and class on the BOL to reduce reclass risk—ideal for shipments to footwear, leathercraft, or upholstery shops.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing from fixed Class 70 enables faster rate shopping and quoting across LTL carriers.
- Correct labeling and package prep reduce inspections, reclass charges, and delivery delays.
- Damage mitigation (flat stacking, interleaving, moisture control) protects finish quality and lowers returns.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges for routine replenishment orders.
