NMFC 34265 – Doors, NOI (See Note 34266) | Class N/A

Note 34266: NOTE-Applies on doors with or without casings or frames, with or without screens or screening, with or without transoms or sidelights, or with or without necessary hardware.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the door build before booking—solid wood, hollow-core, steel, fiberglass, or glazed assemblies—and consult Note 34266 to see if a more specific NMFC applies.
2. Protect edges and faces: use full-length edge guards, corner boards, and foam sheets between stacked slabs. Crate or A‑frame any glazed or fragile architectural doors.
3. Palletize smartly: choose a skid longer than the door’s width, band with cushioning below cutouts, keep units upright for prehung sets, and mark Do Not Stack visibly.
4. Document clearly on the BOL: reference NMFC 34265 with “per Note, see item 34266,” list piece count and dimensions, and add photos of the packed door for claims support.

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

• Correctly applying Note 34266 steers you to the right subclass, preventing reclass and rebills that erode margin on construction bids.
• Damage-resistant packing for vulnerable edges and jambs cuts OS&D rates, accelerates payout cycles, and reduces schedule slips on job sites.
• Accurate specs and orientation notes help carriers load safely, minimizing accessorials like rewrap fees and improving liability coverage.
• Clear NOI routing under 34265 speeds quoting and procurement, enabling faster project mobilization and tighter coordination with installers.
