Use the filled example first. Then replace each field with a measured value or your best current estimate.
Step 1Answer one question at a time. Your example values stay available.
Important limit
Density alone does not determine the final NMFC class.
Commodity identity, handling, stowability, liability, packaging, carrier rules, and current NMFTA classifications can override a density estimate. Confirm the item and class with the carrier or freight professional before tendering.
