NMFC 41710 - Caster Cups, rubber/wood | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack caster cups in sturdy corrugated boxes with dividers or inner bags to prevent scuffing between rubber, wood, or wood‑and‑metal pieces.
2. For heavier, metal‑reinforced cups, choose double‑wall cartons or add corner and edge protection to avoid crush damage in mixed LTL stacks.
3. Label cartons with “Caster Cups — Rubber/Wood” and the piece count; include NMFC 41710 and Class 85 on the BOL for fast, accurate rating.
4. Palletize small cartons together, stretch‑wrap tightly with a top sheet, and avoid placing under very heavy freight to prevent compression marks.

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

• Fixed Class 85 simplifies quoting and reduces reclassification risk—no density calculation required for these boxed furniture accessories.
• Nonhazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and special handling fees, keeping landed costs predictable.
• Boxed packaging supports standard LTL handling, lowering OS&D claims for retailers, installers, and hospitality refurbishments.
• Consistent NMFC mapping speeds routing and enables easy consolidation with other furniture hardware to improve freight rates.
