|---|---|---|
| 128880.00 | Wooden, finished, with pattern or design, in boxes | 92.5 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Pack finished wooden trim or panels in rigid double‑wall boxes with foam or bubble wrap, plus corner and edge guards to protect patterned finishes.
- Mark the BOL with the full description: “Wooden, finished, with pattern or design, in boxes — NMFC 128880, Class 92.5.” No density calculation is required for rating.
- Add a moisture barrier (poly bag) and a small desiccant in each carton to prevent warping or finish blush during humid transits; seal cartons tightly with reinforced tape.
- For sets like dash kits or machine fascia, use partitioned inserts so pieces don’t rub; keep carton weights manageable (e.g., under 40 lb) and label This Side Up/Do Not Crush.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 92.5 enables predictable LTL quotes and faster TMS rating without density worksheets.
- Non‑haz status avoids hazmat fees and simplifies carrier selection and documentation.
- Boxed packaging requirement aligns with carrier rules, reducing reclass fees and damage claims on delicate decorative finishes.
- Consistent NMFC usage across auto trim and machinery components streamlines procurement and consolidations, lowering per‑unit freight costs.
