How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Quote at fixed Class 60; this item is not density-rated, so use the published class for packaged native wood flooring faced with fiberboard.
- Build tight bundles with corner/edge protectors, moisture-barrier wrap, and two to three steel or poly straps; palletize long-side entry for stable forklift handling.
- Limit stacking to protect fiberboard-faced surfaces; use top caps or slip sheets and add Do Not Double Stack labels if bundle rigidity is low.
- State on the BOL: “Flooring, native wood, faced with fiberboard, in packages – NMFC 112560, Class 60,” including bundle and pallet counts to avoid reclass.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing from a fixed Class 60 eliminates density disputes and reduces carrier audits.
- Package-friendly classification lowers risk of chip, scuff, and tongue-and-groove damage, cutting claims and replacement costs.
- Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and helps secure faster LTL transit with fewer restrictions.
- Standardized packaged units speed dock turns and reduce accessorials like rewrap fees or OS&D investigations.
