How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Declare NMFC 89790 and Class 125 on the BOL for folded, hand‑portable stadium or bleacher seats packed in boxes.
- Use sturdy cartons with corner protection so metal frames or seat hinges don’t puncture the box; fill voids with kraft or foam.
- Palletize multiple cartons: align within the pallet footprint, avoid overhang, and stretch wrap with a top sheet to deter dust and scuffing.
- If shipping hardware or cup holders, bag small parts and place inside each carton to prevent rattling and damage in LTL transit.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 125 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass disputes—no density calculation or dimensional breaks required.
- Boxed, folded design lowers damage risk, improving claim ratios and preserving carrier discounts for stadiums, schools, and event suppliers.
- Clear NMFC mapping speeds rate shopping across carriers, enabling tighter bid cycles for seasonal or project-based seating installs.
- Non-hazardous classification streamlines compliance and minimizes accessorials tied to special handling or restricted materials.
