NMFC 69010 - Filters & Related Materials | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the filter type and material before booking—pleated paper air filters, synthetic media rolls, metal mesh screens, or liquid filter cartridges—to align with the correct sub-item under the Filters Group.
2. Pack fragile pleats in rigid cartons with corner protectors and a full top pad; bag loose media to keep out dust, then palletize with a top sheet and use “Do Not Stack” cones when crush risk is high.
3. Control moisture and contamination: poly-bag paper or synthetic media with desiccant; for resin- or oil-treated filters, line cartons to prevent seepage and mark orientation as “This Side Up.”
4. Document clearly on the BOL: ‘NMFC 69010 – Filters Group,’ item description, media type/micron rating, count per carton, and pallet dimensions/weight to speed carrier inspection and avoid rework.

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

• Reduced claims from crushed pleats and contaminated media via rigid cartons, corner supports, and clean inner wraps.
• Faster rating decisions by referencing the Filters Group and supplying precise material details, lowering reclass and dispute risk.
• Better cube efficiency with uniform cartons and tight palletization, helping avoid cubic minimum charges and minimizing accessorials.
• Cleaner, labeled deliveries accelerate receiving and QA checks, cutting detention time and improving dock throughput.
