NMFC 140920 - Nickel-Silver Ware in Boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the item fits “ware, NOI” for nickel-silver—think cutlery handles, jewelry blanks, instrument keys, or decorative trim that isn’t indexed elsewhere.
2. Use sturdy double‑wall boxes with interior dividers or foam sheets to prevent scuffing and tarnish; poly bag small parts to keep finishes clean.
3. Palletize evenly: place boxed pieces on a solid deck, add corner boards, and stretch‑wrap to stability; avoid stacking heavy steel cartons above nickel‑silver goods.
4. Print NMFC 140920, Class 100, and non‑haz on the BOL and labels; include carton count and total weight so carriers can quote quickly without reclass issues.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies rate shopping and minimizes density disputes, cutting surprise reclass charges.
• Non-hazardous status reduces paperwork and fees, speeding tender and dock processing.
• Clear “ware, NOI” designation aligns with common boxed packaging, lowering damage risk and claims costs.
• Consistent classification supports predictable landed costs for recurring shipments of nickel‑silver parts and tableware.
