How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Rate and book under NMFC 23100 at Class 70; list packaging as “boxes” or “crates” on the BOL to avoid reclass.
- Stiffen and protect edges: use heavy cartons with corner guards for boxes, block-and-brace inside crates, and mark “Do Not Bend.”
- For fiberboard/MDF, wrap against moisture and abrasion; add slip sheets so panels don’t scuff against hardware or pallets.
- Project shipping tip: consolidate sets on 48x96 pallets, cap and band securely, and request appointments or liftgate for job sites.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 70 provides predictable pricing and reduces surprise reclass fees.
- Boxed or crated packaging cuts panel damage, lowering claims and install delays.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps keep accessorial costs down.
- Clear NMFC mapping speeds quoting cycles and strengthens negotiated LTL rates for repeat rollouts.
