NMFC 147000 - Outfits Group | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm fabric content and product intent (uniform sets, pajama sets, coordinated fashion) and note knit vs woven; this steers the applicable NMFC subclass when booking.
2. Choose packaging based on retailer requirements: flat-pack size-run cartons with inner polybags for most LTL, or ship on hangers only when rail delivery is mandated to avoid accessorials.
3. Use sturdy corrugated master cartons (e.g., 24x16x12 in) with dividers, corner protection, and “Apparel Sets — Do Not Crush” markings to preserve collars, trims, and set integrity.
4. Provide a detailed packing list with fiber breakdown, SKU/style/color/size, and piece counts; share with the carrier or 3PL to validate the correct Outfits Group subclass since density isn’t used.

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

• Proper subclass selection minimizes reclass charges and keeps quote-to-invoice variance low for apparel set shipments.
• Flat-packed cartons improve trailer cube and reduce LTL cost per unit versus on-hanger garment handling fees.
• Protective inner bags and reinforced cartons cut OS&D claims on multi-piece sets, reducing returns and repack labor.
• Consistent size-run cartonization accelerates DC putaway and retail cross-dock flow, shortening time-to-shelf and freeing working capital.
