NMFC 18060 - Non-Plastic Vehicle Bodies | Class N/A

Note 18061: NOTE-Does not apply on steel tilting-type dumping boxes for mounting in conventional freight automobile bodies. See item 18260 for applicable provisions.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Mark the BOL with NMFC 18060 and describe as “Bodies, freight or passenger, other than plastic” plus the packaging type (boxed or crated).
2. Build a rigid crate with internal bracing at door openings, roof rails, and mounting points; pad sharp edges and remove loose hardware, bagging bolts and fasteners inside.
3. Use skids rated for the shell’s weight, provide forklift clearances, and label lift points and center of gravity to prevent panel flex or racking during handling.
4. Review Note, item 18061 for any exceptions and confirm with your carrier; share photos and overall dimensions for pre-approval and smoother pickup.

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

• Accurate use of NMFC 18060 protects your LTL pricing and limits reclass or inspection fees on large body shells.
• Crated or boxed packaging cuts damage risk on thin panels and glazing, reducing claim costs and production delays.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options, improving transit selection and competitive rate availability.
• Standardized item streamlines quoting and routing for OEMs, upfitters, and bus builders, shortening time from order to delivery.
