NMFC 191710 - Trailer & Snow Vehicle Fenders | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Wrap each fender individually with foam or corrugated sleeves and add U‑channel edge guards over the lips; place interleaves between nested pieces to prevent rub-through on painted surfaces.
2. Palletize arches upright with blocking and banding, then stretch wrap gently; avoid top-loading and never insert forklift tines through the arch.
3. Separate steel, aluminum, and plastic units on mixed pallets with pads; mark heat-sensitive plastics so carriers avoid hot trailers or direct sunlight.
4. On the BOL use: “Fenders—boat-carrying or utility trailer, or snow or ice vehicle—NMFC 191710.” Class is N/A; include material, piece count, and packaging so the carrier can rate accurately.

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

• Reduced damage claims by protecting curved edges and finishes, preserving resale value on painted and powder-coated fenders.
• Cleaner rating and fewer reclass fees by using the precise NMFC wording and noting packaging and materials on paperwork.
• Faster dock turns and lower handling costs when freight arrives pre-palletized with clear no-top-load and orientation labels.
• Broader carrier options because freight is non-hazardous, helping secure competitive LTL rates and reliable transit.
