How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
