NMFC 24410 – Honeycomb Boards/Panels | Class 55–100

Note 24411: NOTE-Will also apply when equipped with wooden slat-type support hangers.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State the full item on the BOL: “Boards/Blocks/Panels, honeycomb cellular construction, compressed or not expanded, in packages – NMFC 24410,” and select the proper class within 55–100 as your tariff dictates.
2. Unitize tightly without crushing: use edge protectors, a rigid top/bottom cap, and two to three steel or poly straps. For paper-based honeycomb, add moisture‑resistant wrap and desiccant as needed.
3. Palletize on full‑deck, 4‑way pallets with runners extending beyond bundle edges to shield from forklift tines. Keep bundles flush, add slip sheets between layers, and mark Do Not Crush if applicable.
4. Load against flat trailer walls, avoid contact with sharp freight, and limit top‑stacking. Use strap guards and corner boards so tensioning does not deform the cellular structure.

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

• Predictable classification window (55–100) minimizes reclass risk and inspection fees when the BOL mirrors the NMFC wording and packaging rules.
• Compressed/not‑expanded bundles cube efficiently and are lightweight for their footprint, often reducing LTL charges and improving trailer utilization.
• Non‑hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat fees or placarding, keeping accessorial exposure low.
• Stronger packaging standards for “in packages” reduce damage frequency, cutting claim costs and improving on‑time performance for production schedules.
