Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
34440.00 Doors, with service cabinet compartments, with or without metal ventilators, in boxes or crates 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack each door in a double‑wall box or a framed crate, blocking around locksets, hinges, and any metal ventilators so protrusions can’t puncture the panel.
  2. Bag loose hardware (hinges, pulls, keys) and secure the bag inside the box or crate; add corner protectors and face sheets to protect finished surfaces.
  3. For multiple units, palletize boxes on a 48×40 pallet with slip sheets, strap across the width, and wrap the bundle without compressing louvers or vents.
  4. Print the BOL with NMFC 34440, Class 100, and note “boxed” or “crated.” Avoid blanket‑wrap or open shipping, which can trigger reclass and damage.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 rating removes density math, giving predictable LTL quotes and simpler rate shopping.
  • Boxed/crated requirement aligns with NMFTA expectations, reducing reclass fees, inspections, and delivery delays.
  • Non‑hazmat status broadens carrier options and consolidations with other building materials for faster transit.
  • Consistent classification helps contractors and facility managers standardize bid specs and budgeting across projects.
