How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Identify the material and fragility—paper banners, fabric garlands, molded plastic props, or glass ornaments—and choose inner wraps, dividers, and corner guards accordingly.
- Use sturdy cartons and palletize mixed decorations with no overhang; strap and shrink-wrap, and mark orientation for wreaths, centerpieces, and foam display pieces.
- Document each SKU group and piece count on the BOL; add photos for fragile sets and label as seasonal décor to guide terminals during peak periods.
- If an item-specific NMFC is known, list it; otherwise note “Decorations Group” and ask your carrier to confirm the shipping class before pickup to avoid reclass.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Quicker quoting when the exact NMFC isn’t determined, helping teams keep seasonal launches on schedule.
- Reduced damage and claims by using inner packs and rigid dividers for delicate ornaments and props.
- Lower risk of reclass and rebills through clear documentation of mixed contents, counts, and packaging.
- Improved LTL efficiency by consolidating varied décor into standardized pallets, cutting dock time during holiday surges.
