NMFC 188170 - Upholstery Separators in Packages | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select NMFC 188170 at booking and specify the material: wire‑reinforced burlap/cotton cloth, synthetic fiber cloth, or plastic film with plastic ribs, shipped in packages.
2. Bundle rolls or folded sheets tightly; cap or pad any wire or rib ends so they won’t abrade adjacent freight. Stretch-wrap and use corner boards to protect edges.
3. Palletize packages on clean, flat decks with no overhang. Keep ribbed film oriented flat to reduce crush risk and strap each bundle at least twice for stability.
4. Label clearly: “Upholstery Separators – Class 70.” Include piece count and package type (carton, wrapped bundle, bagged roll) to streamline carrier inspections.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating means predictable LTL pricing for separator materials used in furniture and trim shops, helping control per-load costs.
• One code covers multiple constructions (cloth with wire, synthetic cloth, ribbed plastic film), simplifying SKU mapping and TMS rule sets.
• “In packages” acceptance allows cartons or wrapped bundles, reducing repacking labor and speeding dock turns without specialty containers.
• Non-hazardous status eases carrier onboarding and routing, minimizing accessorial surprises and accelerating transit planning.
