How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the net material and build (nylon, poly/rope, cargo webbing) to select the correct subclass within NMFC 139680, as classes span 85–110 based on construction.
- Coil and bundle each net to avoid tangles, bag it in plastic, then place in a sturdy corrugated box; isolate hardware like hooks or clips in small inner bags.
- Record weight and carton dimensions for every handling unit even if rating isn’t density-based—carriers still use them for quotes and space planning.
- Label cartons clearly: “Nets—bagged, do not cut,” list piece counts and lengths, and include a packing list to speed receiving and prevent accidental damage.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate subclass selection within 85–110 minimizes reclass charges and keeps invoices predictable.
- Tangle-proof, boxed packaging reduces claims from snagging and short shipments, cutting soft costs and cycle time.
- Non-hazardous commodity status broadens carrier choices and enables faster tendering without hazmat paperwork.
- Standardized cartons for nets streamline warehousing and cross-dock handling, improving throughput and reducing accessorial risks.
