NMFC 22040 - Base Knobs & Door Stops | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Write NMFC 22040 and Class 70 on the BOL and labels to prevent reclass fees when shipping base knobs or door stops.
2. Use double-wall boxes for heavy metal knobs; bag rubber-tipped door stops to avoid scuffs, add inner cartons and void fill, then seal with reinforced tape.
3. Palletize multiple cartons: keep within a 48x40 footprint, add corner protectors, strap, and wrap tightly so small hardware does not shift in transit.
4. Crate only when bulk hardware or long runs need extra protection; block and brace inside the crate and note piece counts for easy receiving.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating simplifies quoting and keeps costs predictable across metal, wood, or plastic hardware.
• NOI coverage reduces classification guesswork for mixed materials and trims the risk of carrier reclass or delays.
• Optimized packaging (box vs crate) balances protection with weight, helping lower freight charges and accessorials.
• Clear labeling and standardized packs speed warehouse turns and reduce claims on finished hardware with delicate surfaces.
