How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Verify the freight is unfinished wooden frames only—no glass, backing, or hardware—to remain within NMFC 137820 at Class 70.
- Use double-wall cartons with corner protectors or corrugated U-channels; wrap each frame to prevent rub marks on "in the white" wood.
- Build consistent case packs (e.g., 6–12 frames per box) and overbox multiple packages on a pallet for safer LTL handling.
- 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.
