NMFC 8210 - Hoes, NOI, not wheeled | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference on the BOL: “NMFC 8210 – Hoes, NOI, not wheeled” to avoid reclass delays and inspection holds.
2. Protect sharp blades with caps or guards, then carton or crate. Example: pack 6 hoes with blade covers in a double‑wall carton using dividers, then stretch‑wrap to a pallet.
3. Palletize with handles aligned and no overhang; keep heads facing inward. Use corner boards and two cross straps to prevent shifting and punctures.
4. Keep typical bundle lengths under 96 inches to avoid oversize handling; do not top‑stack heavy items that could snap wooden or fiberglass handles.

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

• Correct NOI designation reduces reclass fees and unexpected carrier inspections.
• Blade protection and rigid packaging cut claim risk and speed cross‑dock handling.
• Standardized bundles on a common pallet footprint help secure better LTL rates.
• Non‑hazmat status streamlines paperwork and shortens tender‑to‑pickup timelines.
