NMFC Description Class
131830.00 Tractor Canopies or Tops, cloth, with outside curtains, backs or windshields, in boxes:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack each canopy and curtain/windshield set in sturdy double‑wall boxes with flat inserts to prevent creasing of clear vinyl panels.
  2. Bag fabric components to keep out dust and moisture, and secure hardware kits in a taped inner carton so bolts don’t puncture the cloth.
  3. Face windshields against corrugated pads with bubble wrap; avoid folding along the viewing area and mark the box “Do Not Crush.”
  4. Keep dimensions tight to the product footprint; choose a box size that resists crushing yet stays within standard LTL size to avoid oversize fees.

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

Business Value

  • Item-specific NMFC listing (not density-based) helps avoid surprise reclasses and stabilizes LTL rates for ag dealers and OEMs.
  • Boxed packaging aligns with carrier conveyor handling, reducing special handling accessorials and speeding terminal throughput.
  • Non-hazardous accessory shipments cut compliance time and eliminate hazmat surcharges, improving landed cost.
  • Lower damage and return rates by protecting clear vinyl and fabric edges—fewer claims and better customer satisfaction during planting season peaks.
