NMFC 156830 - Film or Sheeting, NOI | Class N/A

Note 156831: NOTE-Does not apply on self-supporting (rigid) plastic sheet or plate. For applicable provisions, see item 156300.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity as “Film or Sheeting, NOI” under NMFC 156830 on the BOL, and spell out the pack type (boxed rolls, crated sheets, wrapped bundles).
2. If using NMFC Packages 2057, 2059, or 2221, print the package number on labels and paperwork so carriers apply the correct handling and avoid reclass.
3. For rolls: use core plugs, edge guards, and stretch-wrap; strap rolls to skids and mark orientation to prevent telescoping or crush during LTL cross-dock moves.
4. For flat sheets: keep units flat on pallets with corner protection, use slip sheets, and avoid overhang; band perimeter in at least two directions.

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

• Cleaner audits and fewer reclass fees by matching the allowed pack styles (boxes, crates, wrapped bundles/rolls, Packages 2057/2059/2221) to the NMFC listing.
• Lower damage claims from puncture and abrasion when rolls are stabilized and sheets are edge-protected, reducing write-offs and reship costs.
• Broader carrier access and simpler routing because the item is non-hazardous, enabling faster tenders and competitive LTL rates.
• More accurate quotes and dock planning when dimensions and roll/sheet counts are provided, limiting detention and minimizing unexpected cubic minimum charges.
