How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- State “ladder parts, in the white” and NMFC 199150 Class 60 on the BOL to distinguish parts from completely knock-down ladders.
- Bundle stiles/rails, rungs, spreaders, and wood caps with edge protectors, then overwrap and cartonize; place cartons on a pallet for cross-dock handling.
- Protect unfinished wood from moisture: use poly liners or VCI wrap and desiccant, and request covered service to avoid rain exposure.
- Count pieces and packages clearly and note wood species and unfinished status so carriers match the packaged woodenware description.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable costs with a fixed Class 60 rating—no density calculations, faster quotes, fewer surprises.
- Lower reclass risk by matching the exact wording: packaged, wooden ladder parts, in the white—not complete KD ladders.
- Reduced damage and claims when moisture and edge protection preserve unfinished wood surfaces for downstream assembly.
- Streamlined procurement-to-assembly flow: standardized packaging lets multiple SKUs ship together without affecting class.
