NMFC 92380 - Handle Blanks (Cutlery/Utensil) | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the product is unfinished handle blanks for cutlery or household utensils—not finished knives, utensils, or raw pellets—to match NMFC 92380.
2. Pack blanks in rigid corrugated boxes with dividers or sleeves; wrap bone and horn individually to prevent chipping, and line cartons to reduce plastic scuffing.
3. Control moisture for natural materials: seal bone/horn blanks in poly bags with desiccant and avoid humid storage to prevent warp and staining.
4. List NMFC 92380, Class 92.5 on the BOL and cartons (e.g., “Handle Blanks – Non-Haz”); palletize boxes square, strap, and top-pad to limit crushing.

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

• Fixed Class 92.5 simplifies quotes across bone, horn, and plastic blanks—no density math, faster LTL pricing for knife and flatware producers.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, keeping per-shipment costs predictable.
• Boxed packaging aligns with carrier preferences, lowering damage risk and reducing claims for brittle natural materials.
• Accurate NMFC pairing minimizes reclass and rebill fees, protecting margins on repeated supplier-to-factory shipments.
