How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use NMFC 172700 on the BOL and list packaging as “boxes”; e.g., 24 trainer seats boxed, 1 pallet, Class 175.
  2. Protect hinges and cushioned rings with double-wall cartons, void fill, and corner protection; keep straps off retail cartons and wrap pallets tightly.
  3. Palletize within the 48x40 footprint, avoid overhang, and limit top-loading; use “Do Not Stack” cones if cartons are light or crushable.
  4. Review Note item 172701 to confirm the scope (children’s potty/trainer seats only) and avoid mixing unrelated SKUs under the same line.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 175 provides predictable rating, simplifying quotes and preventing density disputes.
  • Accurate NMFC entry reduces reclass fees, inspections, and delivery delays on consumer sanitary goods.
  • Damage prevention through better boxing and palletizing cuts claim exposure and protects retail-ready packaging.
  • Strategic consolidation of small cartons onto pallets improves cube efficiency and lowers handling costs on LTL.
