How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- State the full item on the BOL: “Display cabinet, wooden, NOI, boxed/crated — NMFC 187240, Class 100.” Keep the description consistent to avoid reclass.
- Choose packaging by risk: double‑wall carton with foam and corner blocks for lighter units, or a custom wood crate with internal bracing for heavier store fixtures.
- Palletize upright. Strap and stretch‑wrap to the pallet, add edge protectors, and mark “This Side Up/Do Not Stack” to prevent crushing of doors and trim.
- Even though class is fixed, provide actual weight and exterior dimensions for quotes. Request liftgate or inside service when shipping to storefronts or residences.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 removes density calculations, producing faster, more predictable LTL rate quotes across carriers.
- Correct boxed or crated packaging reduces in‑transit scuffs, broken corners, and claims—especially on lined or trimmed pieces.
- Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat surcharges and paperwork overhead.
- Accurate NMFC wording on paperwork minimizes inspection delays, reclass fees, and post‑audit billing disputes.
