How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use boxes for legs, aprons, and hardware; choose wood crates for long rails or frame members to prevent flexing and corner damage during LTL handling.
- Protect unfinished wood from scuffs and moisture: wrap with kraft paper or foam, add corner boards, and separate rails with spacers; bag all fasteners and label per piece.
- Place boxed or crated parts on a pallet, then band and stretch‑wrap; keep labels visible and mark “Wooden Pool Table Parts — NMFC 15790, Class 70” on each handling unit and the BOL.
- Avoid reclass: ship strictly in boxes or crates per the item; provide accurate piece count, overall dimensions, and weight for quotes even though the class is not density‑based.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable costs with fixed Class 70 reduce reclassification disputes and simplify budgeting for dealers, installers, and recreation centers.
- Crating long rails and frames cuts concealed damage and replacement delays, protecting margins and customer schedules.
- Non-hazardous status accelerates carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat fees, shortening booking times and lowering total landed cost.
- Simple, non-density classification speeds rating in TMS platforms and supports class-based discounts on recurring LTL lanes.
