NMFC 142700 - Oil, Water or Gas Well Supplies | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify the exact oilfield item (casing, tubing, wellhead valves, downhole tools) and select the specific NMFC sub-item; this group header does not set the class.
2. Document packaging per handling unit: palletized valves, crated wellhead assemblies, or banded pipe bundles with end caps and wood chocks, plus dimensions and weight.
3. Note pickup/delivery conditions common to rigs and yards: appointments, limited access, muddy surfaces, or driver assist. Add accessorials to avoid carrier refusals.
4. For oily or used gear, cap threads, drain residual fluids, and wrap with poly or drip liners to prevent seepage even though the freight is non-hazardous.

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

• Reduce reclass and surprise charges by mapping each item to its correct NMFC sub-item instead of relying on the group header.
• Cut damage risk and downtime costs by protecting threads, sealing pressure faces, and stabilizing bundles for forklift handling.
• Speed quoting and tendering with standard pack methods (pallet, crate, bundle) and clear counts per handling unit for accurate LTL rating.
• Avoid hazmat fees and extra paperwork thanks to the non-hazardous designation, streamlining dispatch and transit.
