NMFC 86360 - Geographical Globe Stands | Class 85–200

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select packaging by build and finish: crate assembled wood or antique stands; use double‑wall boxes with foam for knock‑down metal frames.
2. Prevent racking and punctures by removing poles or gimbals, bagging hardware, wrapping legs, and blocking inside the box or crate.
3. Palletize with no overhang, band and stretch‑wrap, add corner protectors, and mark This Side Up to protect lacquered or painted surfaces.
4. Document materials (wood, metal, plastic), piece count, and photos on the BOL to support accurate class selection within 85–200.

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

• Right classing within 85–200 avoids reclass fees and unexpected rate increases.
• Crating delicate, display‑grade stands reduces transit damage and costly returns.
• Knock‑down boxing trims cubic size, improving LTL rates and handling efficiency.
• Non‑hazmat commodity speeds carrier acceptance and simplifies booking and scheduling.
