How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the exact subclass on your BOL: note if the carrier has no supporting standard or has a wire supporting standard folded to the body. This distinction drives whether it rates at Class 150 or 200.
- Box each unit securely. Cushion soft pads so they don’t crush, add corner protection, and avoid bag-only packing—this item’s NMFC applies to boxed shipments.
- Palletize for gentle handling: keep cartons upright, use a top cap and light stretch wrap, and avoid over-strapping that could deform wire supports. Mark Do Not Crush on outer cartons.
- Document clearly for fast quotes: list NMFC 20350, item description (plastic baby carrier with pad/cushion), piece count, and non-hazardous status. Since class isn’t density-based, dimensions are for capacity planning, not rating.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable rating without density rules simplifies quoting and budgeting for baby gear shippers.
- Accurate subclass selection (wire folded vs. no standard) prevents reclass and inspection fees, protecting margins.
- Boxed packaging aligns with LTL best practices, reducing damage claims on padded consumer goods and improving customer experience.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and speeds tendering for retailers, distributors, and eCommerce fulfillment.
