The NMFTA has announced important updates to NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) codes to simplify classifications and improve accuracy. These changes reflect the evolving nature of freight, including lighter products and modern packaging, and may impact your shipping costs and classifications.
With more density-based classifications and fewer codes available, ensuring your shipments are correctly classified is critical. The NMFC Item Lookup Tool helps you quickly confirm whether your current
NMFC code has changed, helping you remain compliant and avoid unexpected costs.
How It Works
- Step 1: Enter NMFC Item Numbers
Paste one or more item numbers directly into the tool, or upload a CSV file containing your item list.
- Step 2: Review Classification Results
See whether each item remains unchanged, has a new class, or transitions to density-based classification.
- Step 3: Export and Update
Export your results to CSV and update internal systems or share with your team as needed.
