Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
189520.00 Toboggans or Toboggan Sleds, children's, steel or steel with wooden fronts or dashes, not over 50 inches in length:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Measure the packaged sled’s length, width, and height—include any wooden front or dash. Confirm the overall length stays at or below 50 inches to match this NMFC entry.
  2. Pack sleds to prevent scuffs on steel and dents on wood: use edge protectors on the wooden dash, foam between stacked sleds, and shrink wrap or a carton to keep parts from shifting.
  3. Palletize thoughtfully: a 50-inch sled can overhang a 48x40 pallet. Place diagonally or use a 60-inch pallet to keep the footprint within deck boards and avoid OS charges.
  4. Write the BOL precisely: “Children’s toboggan sleds, steel or steel with wooden fronts, not over 50 inches” with NMFC 189520, note dimensions, and mark Non-Hazardous.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate NMFC 189520 use reduces reclass inspections and surprise adjustments, stabilizing LTL quotes and invoices.
  • Dimension-driven classification means no density math, speeding rate requests and eliminating common rating errors.
  • Protective packing for steel and wood dashes lowers damage ratios and claim costs during peak winter shipping.
  • Under 50-inch length and non-hazardous status broaden carrier options and help secure better seasonal freight rates.
