NMFC 129765 - Wooden Sewing Table Tops | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item as “wooden sewing machine stand/table tops, boxed” on the BOL and include NMFC 129765, Class 70 to prevent reclass and billing delays.
2. Use rigid corner and edge protection inside the box; tops chip easily at corners. Example: foam edge guards plus 200# test corrugate inserts.
3. If the top has a decorative or laminated facing, add a moisture barrier (poly sleeve or kraft wrap) before boxing to avoid surface swelling during transit.
4. Keep boxes flat on a pallet with no overhang; strap and stretch-wrap. Avoid vertical stacking on narrow edges to reduce bowing or warp.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and yields predictable LTL rates, even when box sizes vary.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and reduces accessorial risks tied to hazmat handling.
• Clear NMFC mapping (129765) cuts reclassification fees and claim exposure from misdescribed wooden panels.
• Damage mitigation—edge guards and palletization—lowers replacement costs for finished tops and keeps assembly lines on schedule.
