How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
Confirm the exact article form and packaging: grills and stoves boxed, cast iron radiators crated, KD casings boxed as stated in the NMFC text.
Calculate billable density using gross weight and the exterior cube of each box or crate; heavier, tighter packs often lower the class.
Protect fragile materials by type: foam and blocking for ceramic kamado grills, edge guards for sheet steel, and cap or plug gas manifolds.
Remove fuel sources and residual fluids before packing (e.g., empty oil heaters, no propane cylinders), then label parts sets and hardware bags clearly.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
Density-driven rating lets you optimize packaging (nest sheet-steel tent stoves, ship casings KD) to raise density and cut LTL rates.
Using boxes or crates that mirror the NMFC wording reduces reclass fees and inspection delays on mixed items like doors, headers, and grill kits.
Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges for gas heaters, grills, and stove parts shipped dry.
Correct material identification (cast iron, steel, ceramic, cast aluminum) improves handling instructions and lowers damage claims on high-value units.
