NMFC 83980 - Pool Tables, Non-Slate | Class 100

Note 83982: NOTE-With each table there may be included not more than four cues and the equipment necessary for playing.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify fit for 83980: the pool table uses a non-slate bed and ships KD or with legs folded. If stone or slate is involved, reference the notes for other item numbers (e.g., 83982 or 83984).
2. Package in heavy-duty boxes, wood crates, or Package 1317. Pad rails and pockets, cushion the bed surface, add corner boards, then strap to a pallet and mark “This Side Up/Do Not Stack.” Example: two cartons secured on a 72x44 pallet.
3. Consolidate multi-piece sets into one handling unit. Label 1 of 2, 2 of 2 clearly, shrink-wrap together, and list pieces accurately on the BOL. Keep accessories in a separate small carton inside the crate when possible.
4. Plan accessorials for long, bulky cartons—liftgate and residential delivery are common for game rooms. Share site constraints and delivery appointments to reduce re-delivery fees.

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

• Fixed Class 100 rating removes density calculations, speeding quotes and cutting rating disputes.
• KD or folded-leg construction trims oversize risk, improving trailer cube and lowering LTL costs.
• Multiple approved packaging options (boxes, crates, Package 1317) broaden carrier acceptance and reduce claim exposure.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier compliance and allows easy consolidation with cues, balls, and lights in the same shipment.
