NMFC 111160 - Letters With or Without Stamps | Class 0

Note 111161: NOTE-Does not apply on United States or foreign mail as provided for in item 133940.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Describe on the BOL: “Letters, with or without stamps, NMFC 111160, Class 0.” No density entry is needed under this listing.
2. Pack letters in sealed envelopes, band into tidy bundles, then place in sturdy cartons or mail trays inside cartons to prevent scattering.
3. If shipping bulk, unitize cartons on a clean pallet, corner-protect, and shrink-wrap tightly with a top sheet to guard against moisture.
4. Use tamper-evident tape or seals for sensitive correspondence and apply clear piece counts and carton numbers to simplify receiving.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable rating: Class 0 listing avoids density disputes and reduces the risk of reclassification charges.
• Faster quoting and booking since the NMFC is fixed and non-hazardous, streamlining carrier acceptance.
• Lower loss exposure by bundling and cartoning small paper items that can otherwise get separated in LTL networks.
• Efficient bulk moves for print/mail providers, legal offices, and election or marketing mailings heading to regional hubs.
