How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 37940 and Class 200 on the BOL for KD wooden sliding door frames with wall pocket components packed in cartons or crates.
- Pack jambs, split studs, and head rails tightly with edge guards; add internal spacers to prevent bowing or scuffing during LTL handling.
- Place long cartons on a sturdy pallet with minimal overhang; use two or more steel or poly straps and stretch wrap to stabilize the load.
- Mark “Do Not Stack” or apply load spreaders if cartons can’t bear weight; keep labels showing package count and orientation visible on two sides.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 200 (no density required) simplifies quoting and reduces reclass disputes for millwork and carpentry shipments.
- KD packaging reduces cube versus assembled frames, cutting accessorial risks for oversize handling and helping control per-hundredweight costs.
- Clear “in packages” compliance aligns with the item rules, supporting faster claims resolution and fewer OS&D incidents.
- Consistent coding streamlines multi-stop projects—ideal for distributors supplying pocket-frame kits to residential or multifamily jobsites.
