How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 37940 and Class 200 on the BOL for KD wooden sliding door frames with wall pocket components packed in cartons or crates.
  2. Pack jambs, split studs, and head rails tightly with edge guards; add internal spacers to prevent bowing or scuffing during LTL handling.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
