Classification Details

NMFC Description Class

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Verify the freight is unfinished wooden frames only—no glass, backing, or hardware—to remain within NMFC 137820 at Class 70.
  2. Use double-wall cartons with corner protectors or corrugated U-channels; wrap each frame to prevent rub marks on "in the white" wood.
  3. Build consistent case packs (e.g., 6–12 frames per box) and overbox multiple packages on a pallet for safer LTL handling.
  4. List count and carton sizes on the BOL and note: "Unfinished wooden mirror/picture frames, NMFC 137820, Class 70" for quick rating.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass disputes—no density calculation needed.
  • Protective packaging lowers corner and edge damage, cutting OS&D claims and replacement costs.
  • Non-hazardous wood classification widens carrier options and helps secure better transit choices.
  • Uniform, stackable cartons optimize cube, helping avoid extra handling fees and improving per-unit freight rates.
