Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
24180.00 Blocks, die, leatherboard, pulpboard or rubber, in crates or with surfaces protected by wooden cleats 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 24180, Class 70 on the BOL and note packaging as crated or surfaces protected by wooden cleats.
  2. Strap around the cleats or crate stringers—never directly on rubber, leatherboard, or pulpboard faces—to avoid compression marks.
  3. For leatherboard/pulpboard, add a moisture barrier wrap and corner protection inside the crate to prevent edge swell and scuffing.
  4. Set cleat spacing to match forklift tines, keep load flush to the pallet or skid, and mark Do Not Stack if shipping cleated-only units.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 eliminates density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing reclass surprises.
  • Crate or cleat protection lowers abrasion and gouge claims, cutting damage costs and downtime.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat fees or paperwork.
  • Standardized packaging improves cube planning for die shops, converters, and gasket makers, supporting sharper LTL rates.
