Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
34300.00 Doors or Partitions, accordion folding type, see Note, item 34282, in boxes or crates, or in Packages 226 or 1286:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Reference NMFC 34300 on the BOL and specify Package 226 or 1286, plus whether the unit is boxed or crated to prevent reclass.
  2. Shield rails, hinges, and panel edges with foam, corner boards, and a rigid backer; place loose hardware in a labeled inner carton.
  3. Palletize tall cartons vertically, strap in two directions, and add Do Not Stack cones to avoid scissor-panel crush or track bending.
  4. For jobsite deliveries, request liftgate and call-ahead service and note limited access typical of remodel or retail fit-out locations.

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

Business Value

  • Clear packaging callouts (226 or 1286) reduce reclass fees and billing disputes.
  • Crating or reinforced boxing lowers damage risks on tracks and panels, cutting claim costs.
  • Accurate item identification speeds quotes and helps negotiate better LTL rates for multi-door orders.
  • Optimized pallet builds improve cube efficiency and shorten dock handling time across terminals.
