NMFC 198340 - Woodenware & Wood Articles | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the specific sub-item within the woodenware group—separate finished utensils, decor, racks, or tool handles to avoid blanket reclassifications.
2. Nest small parts, wrap finished surfaces with paper or foam, then pack in double-wall cartons. Palletize with corner boards and tight stretch wrap to prevent edge crush and overhang.
3. Control moisture: line cartons with poly bags for unfinished wood and add “Keep Dry” labels. Avoid loading near chilled freight that can cause condensation.
4. Document clearly: list piece counts and inner packs, note wood species if relevant, and add orientation or “Do Not Stack” labels for delicate carvings or lathe-turned bowls.

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

• Precise grouping under woodenware reduces reclass fees and billing disputes at the dock.
• Non-hazardous designation streamlines paperwork and shortens tender-to-pickup cycles.
• Damage-resistant packing cuts claim rates on scuff-prone finishes, keeping returns and reships down.
• Clear item details improve LTL rate negotiations and help carriers plan cube and handling efficiently.
