How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm eligibility: limit to non-powered hand implement parts like hoe blades, rake tines, pruning shear components, ferrules, and wood handles—do not include motorized assemblies.
  2. Package for edges and points: sheath blades, cap threaded ends, bag small hardware, and use double-wall cartons with dividers and ample void fill. Mark cartons “Hand Implement Parts.”
  3. Palletize smart: place heavy steel pieces low and bundle long wood handles vertically with corner posts. Band and stretch-wrap; aim for 48x40 pallets to fit standard LTL footprints.
  4. Describe precisely on paperwork: use “Agricultural Implement Parts, hand, NOI, in packages – NMFC 6080,” list materials (steel/wood mix) and piece counts. Provide weight and dimensions for each handling unit.

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

Business Value

  • Faster quotes when no specific part listing exists, using the NOI path to streamline classification decisions.
  • Lower reclass risk by clearly defining the commodity as hand-only components and by protecting sharp edges for safer handling.
  • Cost control through consolidation: combine small durable parts into well-packed cartons and a single pallet to reduce minimum charges.
  • Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and broadens carrier options, improving service reliability on rural lanes.
