How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Ship only in packages: cartonize tiles or bundle moldings, then stretch-wrap and palletize; do not tender loose pieces.
  2. Guard edges and faces: use corner boards, foam sheets, and double-wall cartons for tiles; cap molding ends and strap bundles tight with slip sheets.
  3. Control conditions: keep dry for cork and felt-base materials and avoid heat that could warp linoleum; mark Do Not Top Load if cartons are fragile.
  4. Document clearly: list NMFC 182635, Class 70 on the BOL, note package type and piece count to curb inspections and reclass fees.

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