NMFC 131330 - Picker Sticks, Wooden | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity as picker sticks, wooden, packaged with NMFC 131330 and Class 65 on the bill of lading to prevent reclass charges.
2. Bundle sticks tightly and protect ends with caps; use a corrugated sleeve or heavy-wall tube, then secure to a pallet to prevent bending or puncture.
3. Keep dry during transit: poly-bag the bundle or add a moisture barrier inside the carton, and avoid pallet overhang to reduce edge-crush damage.
4. Provide piece count and longest stick length to your carrier; flag any overlength to anticipate LTL accessorials, e.g., a 72 in bundle strapped to a 48x40 pallet.

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

• Standard packages packaging aligns with LTL network handling, improving equipment availability and transit reliability.
• Damage reduction from proper bundling and end protection lowers claim costs and safeguards textile mill uptime.
