NMFC 70940 - Inlaid Wood Parquet Flooring | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Palletize packaged parquet flat, with corner protectors, moisture barrier wrap, and tight banding; keep bundles flush with the pallet to avoid overhang.
2. List NMFC 70940 and Class 70 on the BOL, note “in packages,” and include bundle and pallet counts to prevent reclass or inspection fees.
3. Use sturdy 4‑way pallets with top boards and edge guards for delicate inlay patterns; add “Do Not Double Stack” if crush risk exists.
4. Plan pickups after finish or glue cure, shield freight from rain during loading, and request inside pickup/delivery for jobsite drops.

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

• Predictable costs: fixed Class 70 eliminates density math, accelerating quotes and stabilizing LTL budgeting.
• Fewer chargebacks: correct NMFC 70940 with packaged notation reduces reclassifications, inspections, and surprise accessorials.
• Lower damage rates: moisture-safe wrapping and pallet standards protect high-value inlaid panels, cutting claims and delays.
• Faster fulfillment: non-hazardous status and standard packaging support quick showroom or jobsite shipments without special permits.
