How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Print the BOL as “Cellulose Film, embossed, in packages — NMFC 41810, Class 100” to prevent reclass. Add piece count and total weight for clean audits.
- Use rigid cartons with inner wrap to prevent scuffing of the embossed surface. Avoid tight strapping that can imprint or flatten the texture.
- Palletize cartons on dry, level pallets with slip sheets and corner boards. Keep stack height moderate (about 40–48 in) to limit compression and edge crush.
- Protect from humidity and heat during transit and storage. Line cartons with a poly bag, and request standard dry van service with no excessive heat exposure.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 rating simplifies LTL quotes and cuts reclass risk, reducing unexpected charges.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat fees, improving route flexibility.
- Packaged presentation lowers damage frequency on delicate embossed surfaces, keeping claim costs down.
- Clear, consistent labeling speeds inspections and dock handling, shortening transit times and improving on-time performance.
