How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 41795 and Class 250 on the BOL, and confirm the item is shipped in boxes to match the rule set (see Note, item 41796).
- Use rigid double‑wall cartons with corner and face protection to shield fins or delicate cores; fill voids with foam or honeycomb pads and mark Fragile/This Side Up.
- Palletize boxed units to prevent edge crush: no overhang, strap and stretch‑wrap, and apply Do Not Stack if fin density or frame design won’t tolerate top load.
- Provide true weights and outside carton dimensions for rating and capacity planning, and choose LTL carriers experienced with HVAC coils and cooling media.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing: a fixed Class 250 eliminates density disputes and speeds instant quoting in TMS platforms.
- Compliance saves money: shipping specifically “in boxes” reduces reclassification risk, inspections, and associated fee add‑ons.
- Lower damage exposure: reinforced cartons and proper palletization protect fragile fin surfaces, cutting claims and replacement cycles.
- Faster dock flow: clear labeling and standard boxing simplify cross‑dock handling, improving on‑time performance to job sites and OEM lines.
