NMFC 70950 - Flooring & Wall Coverings, NOI | Class N/A

Note 70951: NOTE-Also applies on Wall Covering or Wallpaper Samples or Sample Books.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm your product is not tile or molding; if it is, review Note item 70951 and use the correct NMFC instead.
2. For wrapped rolls (vinyl, linoleum, wallpaper), use a rigid core with end caps, wrap in poly and kraft, and secure upright on a 4-way pallet with “Do Not Stack” if crush risk exists.
3. For boxed planks or cartons, cap edges with corner guards, keep cartons under manageable weights, and interlock layers on pallets to prevent shifting in LTL transit.
4. Measure each handling unit carefully; declare any length over 96 inches to avoid unexpected length surcharges and ensure carriers plan proper handling.

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

• Proper use of NMFC 70950 reduces reclass fees and shortens quote turnaround for flooring and wallcovering shipments.
• Damage mitigation (cores, edge guards, moisture protection) cuts claims, preserving margins and customer satisfaction on finish materials.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps secure competitive LTL rates without hazmat fees.
• Optimized palletization of boxes or rolls improves cubic efficiency and minimizes accessorials tied to long or unstable freight.
