Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
12360.00 Skis, metal, with or without fittings or rigging, in boxes or crates 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack each pair in a double‑wall box or custom plywood crate; immobilize with cross‑bracing, foam blocks at bindings, and edge guards to prevent bending during fork handling.
  2. Protect metal with VCI wrap and desiccant; seal and label “Keep Dry,” especially for winter routes or long transits to remote airfields.
  3. If fittings or rigging are installed, bag loose hardware, cap sharp studs, and strap components so nothing chafes against the ski surfaces.
  4. On the BOL, note “NMFC 12360, Class 100 – Aircraft Skis.” Mark lift points on the long side and add “Do Not Fork Through” arrows for crates over 72 inches.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 removes density disputes, accelerating LTL quotes and reducing reclass fees.
  • Boxed or crated presentation boosts carrier acceptance for long items and avoids penalties tied to loose freight.
  • Corrosion control and internal bracing lower claim risk on precision edges and mounts, preserving asset value.
  • Clear NMFC reference supports audit trails for OEMs, MROs, and bush operators, improving on‑time dispatch.
