Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
182690.00 Tile or Molding, facing, brick or stone, mounted on fiberboard or pulpboard, in packages 60

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm the product fits: facing tile or molding of brick or stone mounted to fiberboard or pulpboard, shipped as packaged units—not loose tiles.
  2. Package securely: interleave foam or kraft, add edge guards, and box or bundle boards as tight packages. Then palletize without overhang and strap firmly.
  3. Mark and document: label “Facing Panels—Do Not Lay Flat,” list piece counts per package, and put “NMFC 182690, Class 60, Non-Haz” on the BOL.
  4. Protect from moisture and impact: use slip sheets to keep forklift tines off edges, stretch-wrap the stack, and photograph packaging before pickup for claim support.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable Class 60 rating reduces reclass fees and dispute risk, improving invoice accuracy.
  • Single NMFC for mounted veneers speeds quoting and TMS setup, shortening time-to-book.
  • Package-based handling minimizes breakage compared to loose stone or tile, lowering damage costs.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges or paperwork.
