NMFC 22095 - Basket Bases, Wooden, in Boxes | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item on the BOL as “Basket bases/bottoms, wooden, in boxes,” NMFC 22095, Class 70 to avoid reclass charges.
2. Pack pieces flat or nested by size inside sturdy corrugated boxes; add slip sheets or kraft paper to prevent scuffing and edge dents.
3. Use moisture barriers (poly bags or wrap) inside cartons to protect unfinished wood from humidity during transit and cross-docks.
4. Palletize cartons with no overhang, then strap and stretch-wrap; keep cartons flat to prevent warping and corner crush.

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

• Fixed Class 70 removes density math, speeding quotes and eliminating surprise re-rates for wood basket components.
• Boxed packaging aligns with carrier rules, reducing claim risk and lowering accessorial costs tied to repack or rework.
• Predictable classification lets craft suppliers and basket manufacturers forecast LTL spend and negotiate consistent rates.
• Flat, boxed parts cube efficiently on pallets, improving trailer utilization and trimming per-order transportation costs.
