National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC)

National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) is a standard system used to classify and rate freight based on its characteristics and density for the purpose of pricing. NMFC codes are more specific than LTL freight classes because they’re assigned to specific commodities. 

It’s the NMFC number that provides the official LTL freight class for an item. NMFC codes can change, and only your logistics provider will be able to provide you with the exact commodity number.
