NMFC 38200 - Folding Garden Trellises KD Flat | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the product meets the folding/KD flat definition (hinged or knock-down panels shipped flat in packages) rather than pre-assembled arches or rigid structures.
2. Use protective packaging: interleave panels with slip sheets, add edge protectors, and overwrap with heavy corrugate or film to prevent lattice crush and scuffing.
3. Print clear paperwork and labels: “NMFC 38200 — Trellises, folding, KD flat — Class 70” to reduce inspection time and reclass risk.
4. For multi-piece orders to garden centers or DIY retailers, unitize packaged bundles on a skid with two-way banding, no overhang, and corner boards for stability.

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