NMFC 37610 - Building Woodwork or Ships' Joiner | Class N/A

Note 37612: NOTE-Applies only on articles to be built in and become a permanent part of building woodwork or ships' woodwork.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select the NOI description: “Building Woodwork or Ships’ Joiner Work, NOI,” and add specifics in your BOL (e.g., stained oak trim, wrapped and crated).
2. Package per piece type: crate cabinets and assemblies; bundle long mouldings on a custom skid with edge protection, cross-bracing, and moisture barrier for marine joinery.
3. Record true dimensions and weight including skids/crates; flag overlength pieces (e.g., 10–16 ft) so carriers plan proper handling and avoid accessorial surprises.
4. Apply clear handling cues—Do Not Stack, Keep Dry, This Side Up—and use corner guards and foam to protect finished surfaces from strap and fork damage.

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

• Accurate NOI usage reduces reclass/inspection fees and prevents dispute-driven delays on architectural millwork and shipboard interiors.
• Robust crating and moisture protection lower damage claims on finished wood, preserving project timelines and warranty costs.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options, enabling competitive LTL rates and better transit flexibility for jobsite or shipyard deliveries.
• Detailed commodity descriptions speed quotes and pickups, improving rate predictability for mixed loads of trim, casework, and joiner panels.
