Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
178710.00 Stands or Tables, television, iron or steel, rod or tubular type, taken apart, bases nested, in boxes 85

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List on the BOL as “TV stands/tables, iron or steel, rod/tubular, KD, bases nested, boxed — Class 85” to prevent reclass charges.
  2. Keep bases nested inside each carton and fill voids with corner protectors and foam to avoid tube denting or finish scuffs.
  3. Unitize multiple cartons on a pallet with edge boards and two-way banding; mark “This Side Up” to maintain nested orientation.
  4. Provide carton count and weights per box; carriers expect boxed K/D hardware separated from tops and legs to contain metal contact.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable Class 85 rating reduces surprise reclass fees and stabilizes LTL quotes.
  • Taken-apart, bases-nested packing cuts cube, lowering billed weight and freight spend.
  • Boxed metal components move safely through conveyor hubs, reducing damage claims and downtime.
  • Clear NMFC alignment speeds tendering and pickup scheduling, improving dock throughput.
