(Classes herein based on released value have been authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission in Released Rates Order No. MC-314, as amended April 23, 1952 and August 9, 1966, FF-56, of September 14, 1950, subject to complaint or suspension.) (See elsewhere in this Classification for intrastate authorities.) The Standard for Freight Identification and Classification

The National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) is a standard that provides a comparison of commodities moving in interstate, intrastate and foreign commerce. It is similar in concept to the groupings or grading systems that serve many other industries. Commodities are grouped into one of 18 classes—from a low of class 50 to a high of class 500—based on an evaluation of four transportation characteristics: density, stowability, handling and liability. Together, these characteristics establish a commodity’s “transportability.”

The Standard for Packaging, Rules and Bills of Lading The NMFC specifies minimum packaging requirements to ensure that goods are adequately protected in the motor carrier environment and can be handled and stowed in a manner that is reasonably safe and practicable. It contains various rules that govern and otherwise relate to the classification and/or packaging of commodities as well as procedures for the filing and disposition of claims. It also contains the Uniform Straight Bill of Lading and the North American Uniform Through Bill of Lading, including their Terms and Conditions.
