| The National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC)® |
Will the class change depending on how it’s packaged?
Minimum packaging requirements are specific to the commodity description and outline how to pack or
protect the articles for shipment. It is important to understand how to classify your freight to assess how
packaging may affect your freight class.
We recommend reaching out to our Interpretations department to verify the proper classification of your
product(s). Once you have identified your NMFC item number, you will be able to track potential changes
to it when Docket 2025-1 is issued on January 30, 2025.
