NMFC 183100 – Manufactured Tobacco Group | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Match your product to the correct NMFC item under this group (e.g., cigarette cartons, boxed cigars, tins of snuff) before booking.
2. Use rigid double-wall cartons with inner dividers; keep moist snuff separate from dry tobacco to control odor and moisture transfer.
3. Palletize upright with corner boards, two straps, and stretch wrap; mark cartons “Tobacco—Non-Haz” and maintain clear SKU counts on labels.
4. Confirm carrier policies for age-restricted goods and keep tax-stamp and chain-of-custody documents handy for pickup, cross-dock, and delivery.

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

• Accurate grouping selection reduces reclass fees and surprise re-rates tied to tobacco product variance.
• Protective packaging and secure palletizing cut crush damage and deter pilferage on high-value, small-footprint cartons.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps avoid special handling surcharges.
• Clear documentation and custody tracking streamline audits and can lower cargo insurance costs.
