How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 147280 and Class 0 on the BOL, then note total sets and piece counts per pallet to prevent reweigh or reclass disputes.
- Use wardrobe cartons or rolling racks for items that must stay on hangers; cushion embellished pieces in corrugated boxes with tissue or foam sheets.
- Pack headpieces, belts, or delicate trims separately, and add moisture barriers if routing through humid venues or long storage holds.
- Secure loads by stretch-wrapping racks, strapping cartons to pallets, and labeling by act/size for fast check-in at arenas or big tops.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 0 rating delivers predictable quotes and minimizes costly reclassification charges.
- Non-hazardous apparel broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat fees and extra paperwork.
- Simple, non-density classification speeds BOL prep and reduces time spent on W&I disputes.
- Purposeful packing (wardrobe cartons, separated delicate pieces) curbs damage and replacement costs for specialty costumes.
