NMFC Description Class

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use the exact NMFC description on your BOL: "Markers, surveyors' or land marking, wire with plastic flag attached, in boxes - NMFC 134090, Class 65."
  2. Bundle flags tightly, cap sharp wire ends, and line box walls with chipboard so wires cannot puncture; keep flags flat to prevent creases.
  3. Select sturdy corrugated boxes (ECT 32 for light bundles, ECT 44 for heavier counts) and fill voids with kraft paper to stop shifting.
  4. For multi-carton LTL, place cartons on a 48x40 pallet, add corner boards and a top sheet, stretch wrap, and mark Do Not Top-Load; record exact dims.

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