The National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) is a publication containing approximately 10,000 descriptions of commodities transported by motor carriers providing interstate or intrastate service.
The Classification catalogues and groups the commodities into 18 classes (classes 50 through 500) according to their “transportability,” using these transportation characteristics:
- Density, as measured by shipping weight per cubic foot;
- Stowability, which includes excessive weight or excessive length;
- Ease or difficulty in handling, which includes special care and attention necessary to handle the goods; and
- Liability, as measured by value per pound, susceptibility to theft, liability to damage, perishability, propensity to damage other freight with which it is transported, and propensity to spontaneous combustion or explosion.
In addition to commodity classifications, the NMFC also contains rules pertaining to procedures for filing claims, packaging provisions, handling and service requirements, Bills of Lading, and the application of commodity descriptions.
