NMFC 161897 - Revenue or Tax Stamps | Class 0

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Rate LTL using NMFC 161897 for “Stamps, revenue or tax”; the class is fixed, so no density or dimensions are required for rating or quoting.
2. Pack stamps flat in rigid cartons or small lockable totes with moisture barriers; bag booklets, add desiccant packs, and use double‑wall corrugated for master cases.
3. Apply tamper‑evident seals and discreet exterior labels; request signature‑required and limited‑access delivery for treasurers’ offices, stamp distributors, or secure printers.
4. Palletize with corner boards, full shrink wrap, and two bands per layer; avoid overhang, mark Keep Dry/Do Not Crush, and document lot counts on the BOL.

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

• Single, predictable class streamlines pricing and prevents reclass fees or invoice disputes.
• Non‑hazardous printed matter status removes hazmat paperwork and surcharges for faster tendering.
• Secure packing and chain‑of‑custody steps reduce pilferage risk on high‑value, low‑weight freight, lowering claim exposure.
• Consolidation with other printed matter improves cube utilization and can reduce per‑order freight rates.
