NMFC 137810 – Wooden Mirror/Picture Frames | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 137810 and Class 85 on the BOL, and describe the commodity as finished wooden mirror or picture frames (with or without composition covering) in packages.
2. Pack frames in rigid cartons with foam corners and surface wrap to protect finishes; double-box large pieces and add “Fragile” and “Do Not Stack” labels for clarity.
3. Palletize sealed cartons when possible: use edge boards, stretch wrap, and no overhang; keep loads tight and under typical LTL height limits to reduce handling damage.
4. Request needed accessorials up front—liftgate for boutique/gallery deliveries, appointment for receivers—and add declared value coverage for high-end framed products.

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

• Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 85 that is not density-based, reducing reclass risk when shipped as packages.
• Clear material scope—finished wood frames with or without composition covering—helps prevent disputes and surprise charges.
• Lower claim rates from proper corner protection and palletization, saving retailers, frame shops, and hospitality FF&E projects time and money.
• Efficient consolidation: multiple frames per master carton or pallet improves cube utilization and lowers per-unit freight cost without changing class.
