How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Quote and bill as NMFC 134040, Class 100, boxed. List carton count and inner pack quantities on the BOL for clear handling.
  2. Use heavy-duty double-wall cartons with corrugated partitions or molded trays; add top and bottom pads to limit chipping from point loads.
  3. For bulk lots, bag marbles in poly liners before placing in divided boxes to reduce surface abrasion in transit.
  4. Palletize tightly: keep cartons inside the pallet footprint, add edge boards, stretch-wrap with 50% overlap, and secure with two bands.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing: fixed Class 100 minimizes density disputes and reclass fees.
  • Dense commodity maximizes weight per pallet, improving cost per pound and avoiding cubic minimum surprises.
  • Non-hazardous status streamlines routing and eliminates hazmat surcharges and paperwork.
  • Stronger boxing and partitions cut damage rates, protecting margins for toy, craft, and gift retailers.
