NMFC 131430 - Wooden Skewers | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use sturdy corrugated boxes or wooden crates with inner poly liners; keep skewer tips shielded or oriented inward to prevent punctures.
2. Palletize tightly: no overhang, add corner and edge protectors, then strap and stretch-wrap to stop cartons from shifting in LTL transit.
3. Control moisture: dry pallets only, use a liner in boxes, and avoid stacking under damp goods since wood readily absorbs humidity.
4. On paperwork, list NMFC 131430, Class 70, exact piece counts, and clear descriptions like “Wooden Skewers, boxed” to avoid reclass delays.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating streamlines quoting and tendering—no density calculations, faster LTL rate comparisons, fewer surprises.
• Non-hazardous wood product means simpler documentation and broader carrier acceptance, improving turnaround and network reach.
• Efficient case packing (high count per box) reduces handling touches and claim risk, supporting lower accessorial exposure.
• Clear boxing/crating aligned with the NMFC item lowers reclass and inspection fees, protecting margins for foodservice and retail supply chains.
