How do I know what class my item is and how does this affect my shipment?:
Class refers to the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) number that specifically identifies each type of product that can be shipped by a carrier. This NMFC number must be accurate on the Bill of Lading. This is imperative to be sure that you receive accurate pricing for what you are shipping. Should the carrier suspect that the weight or class of your cargo is incorrect, they will re-weigh and correctly re-class your load, which will result in a Reweigh and Inspection fee, as well as an increase in the cost of moving the freight should the correct class be higher then what was originally specified. If you do not know what class your freight is, please contact your
local Unishippers office.
