How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Identify the booth type and primary build (restaurant seating, trade‑show panels, or industrial/spray booth sections) so carriers understand materials and handling needs.
  2. Ship knocked down when possible: break into panels/benches, wrap corners, use edge protectors, and crate or palletize upright with blocking and straps to prevent racking.
  3. Document each piece with dimensions, weight per handling unit, and materials (wood, laminate, metal frame, upholstery). Add photos to minimize reclass or inspection delays.
  4. List accessories shipped with the booth—glass, lighting, fans, or hardware—and keep paints/adhesives separate if present, as those may trigger hazmat rules.

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

Business Value

  • Knocked‑down packaging reduces cube and handling risk, often lowering LTL rates and improving terminal throughput.
  • Clear specs (materials, piece count, and photos) speed up quotes and cut surprise reclass fees tied to ambiguous ‘booths’ descriptions.
  • Crating/pallet standards improve stackability and cross‑dock safety, reducing damage claims and secondary packaging costs.
  • Non‑hazmat status widens carrier options and scheduling flexibility, helping secure better lanes and steadier freight pricing.
