The NMFTA has announced important updates to NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) codes, designed to simplify classifications and improve accuracy. These changes aim to address the evolving nature of freight, such as lighter products and more advanced technologies. As a result, your shipping costs and classifications could be impacted.

With density-based classifications and fewer codes to choose from, ensuring your shipments are correctly classified is more important than ever. The NMFC Item Lookup Tool helps you quickly determine if your current NMFC code has changed, keeping your shipments compliant and cost-effective.

How It Works:

• Step 1: Enter One or More NMFC Item Numbers
  Paste your item numbers directly into the tool, or upload a CSV file containing your list of items.
• Step 2: View Your Results
  The tool will display whether each item’s classification is unchanged, assigned a new class, or moving to density-based classification.
• Step 3: Take Action
  Once you’ve reviewed your results, you can export them to a CSV file to share with your team or update your internal systems accordingly.
