NMFC 78800 - Stone Furniture, Boxed/Crated | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. On the BOL, list NMFC 78800, Class 100, and the packaging type (Box or Crate). Note the item as stone furniture and include piece counts (e.g., vanities, tabletops, pedestals).
2. Choose a wood crate for heavy or brittle items like countertops, mantels, or bases. Add foam and edge guards, use 2x4 bracing, band securely, and mark lift points and center of gravity.
3. For boxed shipments, use double- or triple-wall cartons with rigid blocking. Protect corners, keep each box at a manageable weight, and bundle multiple boxes to a pallet for stability.
4. Prebook accessorials such as liftgate, residential or jobsite delivery, and appointment. Ensure crates have forklift openings so carriers can move them with pallet jacks safely.

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

• Fixed Class 100 removes density math, speeding up quotes and reducing reclass and inspection fees.
• Robust crating minimizes breakage on high-value stone pieces, lowering claim frequency, admin time, and replacement costs.
• Clear NMFC 78800 labeling and declared packaging help carriers assign proper handling, avoiding delays and unexpected accessorial charges.
• Predictable pricing at Class 100 supports accurate bids for construction, retail build-outs, and hospitality projects with stone fixtures.
