NMFC 75940 – Fiber Shapes, Hardened | Class 60-70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm your item matches the scope: formed fiber parts that are chemically hardened, indurated, or vulcanized (e.g., washers, spacers, insulation shapes). Note this description on the BOL.
2. Use packages only: pack in rigid corrugated cartons with dividers or interleaf sheets. Bag small rings or die-cuts to prevent loss and add desiccant; label cartons “Keep Dry.”
3. Palletize for low crush resistance: stack uniform cartons, add a top cap, corner protectors, and light strapping to avoid edge dents. Avoid over-tensioning bands that can deform fiber shapes.
4. Quote and tender at the correct subclass within Class 60–70 per NMFC 75940. This item is not density-based, so select the proper class and keep it consistent across quotes and tenders.

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

• Predictable rating at Class 60–70 helps avoid reclass fees and post-audit surprises since the item is not density-driven.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and eliminates hazmat surcharges, accelerating LTL transit and tender acceptance.
• Moisture-aware packaging (liners, poly bags, desiccant) cuts OS&D claims from warping or delamination, protecting margins and customer satisfaction.
• Uniform cartons and proper pallet build improve cube efficiency and freight rates while shortening dock handling time for faster turns.
