How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the commodity is marbles (clay, glass, or porcelain) and select NMFC 134050, listed as NOI, shipped in boxes.
- Use sturdy corrugated boxes with dividers, trays, or foam to stop rolling; line boxes for clay marbles to control dust and moisture.
- Keep individual boxes at manageable weights; palletize in tight columns with slip sheets, corner boards, stretch wrap, and two bands.
- Print on the BOL: “NMFC 134050 – Marbles, NOI, in boxes – Class 65.” Density entry isn’t needed for this rating.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Single code covers clay, glass, and porcelain marbles, reducing reclass risk and billing disputes.
- Fixed Class 65 on a dense product often improves rate predictability versus higher classes.
- Non-hazardous status speeds tendering and avoids hazmat surcharges or carrier limitations.
- Box-only packaging standard streamlines SOPs, cuts damage claims, and supports consistent carrier handling.
