How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Bundle long moldings with edge protectors and steel or poly banding; cap ends and interleave paper or VCI for tin‑plated or galvanized surfaces.
  2. Load bundles on skids or bolsters that match the piece length to prevent overhang; keep stack height modest to maintain straightness and allow safe fork access.
  3. Describe the commodity clearly on the BOL: “iron/steel moldings, NOI” or “wood moldings plated with iron/steel/tin,” include piece count and lengths (e.g., 10 ft).
  4. Select carriers equipped for overlength freight and request curtain‑side or side‑load service for jobsite deliveries without docks, common in construction.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate NOI wording reduces inspections, reclass risks, and surprise fees for mixed metal or plated‑wood trims.
  • Edge and surface protection cuts finish damage on architectural profiles, lowering claims and project delays.
  • Right‑sized skids and disclosed lengths minimize overlength surcharges and improve handling speed.
  • Grouping metal and plated‑wood moldings under one NMFC streamlines quotes across LTL and volume lanes.
