NMFC 17480 - Table Tennis Tables in Packages | Class N/A

Note 17482: NOTE-Applies on tables of regulation game size or smaller, and on tables with not more than one set of playing equipment such as balls, paddles, nets and net supports.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use factory cartons with edge and corner protection; then unitize on a pallet with two straps and stretch-wrap. Add “Do Not Stack” cones to protect the tops.
2. Fold and lock both halves, pad hinges, and remove nets/posts. Bag hardware and accessories, box them, and secure the box to the same pallet to prevent loss.
3. State the NMFC clearly on the BOL: “NMFC 17480 Table Tennis Tables, in packages, see Note item 17482,” and include piece count and handling unit details.
4. Quote for bulk: capture full dimensions including pallet and cones, verify liftgate or team service for schools or residences, and choose OS&D-conscious carriers.

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