Classification Details

NMFC Description Class

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. State the exact line on your BOL: “Ceiling fan blades, wood, unassembled, not pitched, no irons or hubs, boxed — NMFC 114993, Class 77.5.”
  2. Pack blades flat in boxes with interleaving sheets to prevent scuffs; protect tips with corner guards, fill voids, and mark “Do Not Bend” on all sides.
  3. Seal each box in a moisture barrier (bag or wrap) to reduce warping, then palletize with no overhang and a rigid top sheet for stack strength.
  4. Keep cartons under overlength thresholds; even though class is fixed, provide box count and exterior dims for rate accuracy and proper trailer cubing.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 77.5 removes density checks, speeding quotes and preventing reclass charges for this specific wood blade format.
  • Non-hazardous commodity broadens carrier options and shortens tender-to-pickup timelines for retail and OEM shipments.
  • Clear “no hardware/hubs” description reduces inspection disputes and claim risk tied to misidentified mixed components.
  • Slim, flat boxed blades cube efficiently on pallets, improving trailer utilization and lowering LTL cost per unit shipped.
