NMFC Description Class
180020.00 Supports, seating posture, steel and rubber combined, fabric or plastic covered, in boxes 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm you’re shipping steel-and-rubber seating posture supports with fabric or plastic covers, packed in boxes, to match NMFC 180020 at Class 100.
  2. Pad steel edges and protect rubber components: polybag the cover, add foam or corrugated pads, and fill voids so parts can’t punch through cartons.
  3. Palletize boxed units flat; use corner boards and a top sheet, then strap or wrap. Keep stacks around 40–48 inches to avoid crushing fabric covers.
  4. Print NMFC 180020, Class 100, and “Boxes” on the BOL with an accurate piece count to ensure correct carrier rating and fewer reclass disputes.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 means no density calculation, enabling faster rating, simpler audits, and predictable LTL quotes.
  • Box-only packaging aligns with standard LTL handling, reducing claims on covered components and limiting accessorial exposure.
  • Material-specific description (steel, rubber, covered) narrows interpretation, helping prevent reclass fees and chargebacks.
  • Straightforward mapping in TMS and with 3PLs supports consistent pricing across office, automotive, and ergonomic seating supply chains.
