NMFC 155640 - Pincushions, NOI, in boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item on your BOL as “Pincushions, NOI, in boxes — Class 100, NMFC 155640” and select boxes as the packaging type in your TMS.
2. Use snug inner packs or dividers to prevent cushion deformation and scuffing; polybag each piece to keep fibers clean during transit.
3. When palletizing, cap cartons with a top sheet and add edge protectors; avoid over‑strapping to prevent crushing soft goods.
4. Because this is a fixed Class 100 item, you don’t need density calculations—focus on clean labeling, carton counts, and accurate piece totals.

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

• Predictable rating: Fixed Class 100 minimizes reclass charges and dispute risk on small, soft-goods shipments.

• Faster quoting and routing: No density step means instant rate shopping across LTL carriers for sewing and craft replenishment.
• Better fulfillment flow: Compact, boxed pincushions cube efficiently for retail, e‑commerce, and distributor cross‑dock operations.
