NMFC 185660 - Wood/Bamboo Handles Attached | Class 110

Note 185662: NOTE-Applies on rakes that incorporate an umbrella-like mechanism that adjusts the width of the rake head.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use rigid cartons or fiber sleeves with capped ends to protect protruding handles and prevent punctures from tool heads.
2. Keep lengths consistent per package and list the item count on the label; add arrows or ‘This Side Up’ to limit bending and crush damage.
3. Wrap metal or sharp tool ends with padding, then band internally so handles don’t rub and scuff during LTL vibrations.
4. Note the description on the BOL as “wood or bamboo, handles attached, in packages” and select Class 110—no density entry required.

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

• Fixed Class 110 rating means fast, reliable quoting without density calculations, reducing reclass disputes.
• Packaging as defined minimizes OS&D claims on fragile handle ends, cutting replacement and reship costs.
• Clear NMFC alignment helps avoid carrier non-conformance fees for loose or improperly bundled long items.
• Standard non-hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and keeps accessorial risks focused only on length or handling needs.
