NMFC 188190 - Upholstery Wire Separators | Class 70-125

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Match the construction to the NMFC listing: note whether separators are wire-only or wire-and-cordage, then select the correct sub-class within 70–125.
2. Package coils or bundles in sturdy boxes with edge protectors; cap sharp wire ends and bag cordage to prevent punctures and tangling during LTL handling.
3. Record piece counts and bundle lengths on each package label; include total weight and contact info to streamline reweighs and avoid inspection delays.
4. For factory replenishment shipments, unitize small cartons on a low-profile pallet and band securely so packages stay cubic and forklift-safe.

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

• Correct class selection reduces reclass fees and quote variance, keeping upholstery hardware costs predictable across lanes.
• Damage-minded packaging (capped ends, edge protection) lowers claims and keeps separators ready for line-side use with no rework.
• Right-size cartons and tight unitization improve density and dock efficiency, helping carriers price aggressively within the 70–125 band.
• Clear labels and counts accelerate receiving and inventory accuracy at furniture plants, shortening cash-to-cash cycles.
