How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use ventilated boxes or wood crates and line them with kraft paper or absorbent pads to manage moisture and sap from fresh cut greens.
- Palletize multiple cartons with light stretch wrap to keep airflow; add corner boards and label Do Not Stack for delicate wreaths.
- Request freeze or heat protection during extreme weather if freshness matters, and schedule pickups early during peak holiday demand.
- List NMFC 63730 and Class 300 on the BOL, note packaging (boxes, crates, or boxes strapped in bundles), and include piece counts and dimensions.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 300 rating simplifies quoting and eliminates density checks for cut evergreens.
- Clear packaging allowances (boxes, crates, bundled cartons) reduce reclassification risk and damage claims.
- Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and avoids extra compliance costs.
- Seasonal planning with a known class helps control LTL spend and secure capacity during holiday surges.
