How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm eligibility: unfinished wooden furniture stock (in the white), in packages, and not laminated wood veneer cylindrical forms—otherwise this code doesn’t apply.
- Unitize securely: band bundled pieces on a sturdy pallet with edge protectors, interleave paper or foam to prevent scuffing, and wrap for moisture control; keep no product overhang.
- Plan handling: brace long lengths, add corner caps, and use “Do Not Stack” or top-decking when thickness is low; add extra straps every 24–36 inches for stability.
- Document clearly on the BOL: “NMFC 83645 Furniture Stock, wooden, NOI, in the white, in packages – Class 70, Non-Hazardous,” including piece count and packaging type.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing: fixed Class 70 (no density calculation) speeds quoting and reduces reclass risk.
- Lower damage exposure: packaged, palletized bundles with proper protection cut OS&D and claim costs.
- Compliance avoids fees: using the correct code for in-the-white stock (not laminated veneer cylinders) prevents inspections and re-bills.
- Operational efficiency: tight unitization improves trailer cube, reduces touches, and helps maintain consistent transit performance.
