NMFC 56310 - Deeds or Valuable Papers | Class 0

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Seal documents in a moisture barrier sleeve, place inside a tamper‑evident envelope, then a rigid mailer or flat carton labeled Do Not Bend.
2. Declare the shipment’s value on the BOL and request signature‑required, limited‑access delivery for law firms, title companies, or county offices.
3. Palletize flat cartons on the top deck only; add corrugated sheets above and below, then shrink‑wrap and lightly strap to prevent bending.
4. Protect privacy: describe contents as paper documents on the BOL, avoid listing specific deed details, and record any seal numbers for chain‑of‑custody.

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