How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the commodity on the BOL as “Kits, fingernail maintenance, in boxes, with or without display racks, NMFC 58893, Class 250.” This reduces reclass risk.
  2. Use sturdy corrugated cartons with dividers for tools and accessories. Bag small items and cap sharp tips to prevent punctures during LTL handling.
  3. If shipping store display racks or stands in the same box, immobilize with foam or blocking and add ‘This Side Up’ labels to avoid scuffing and bent parts.
  4. Palletize cartons with no overhang and heavy-to-light stacking. Class is fixed, but provide accurate piece count, dimensions, and weight for quoting and space planning.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 250 simplifies rating and prevents density disputes, cutting back-office time and unexpected inspection charges.
  • Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat fees and special handling, accelerating tendering and delivery to beauty and pharmacy retailers.
  • Displays included at the same classification let you bundle kits and stands under one NMFC line, streamlining paperwork and minimizing reclass events.
  • Clear labeling and correct NMFC on the BOL strengthen claims defensibility and reduce delays for seasonal or promo-driven retail launches.
