The [National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA)](https://nmfta.org/) establishes classifications for LTL freight shipments referred to as the NMFC. The goal of this identification system is to create fair measurements and standardized pricing for ground freight. Failure by the shipper to adhere to these regulations can result in unexpected charges due to reclassification by the carrier. There are 18 different freight classes ranging between 50 and 500 – the higher the class, the more expensive shipping costs per pound. Below is an explanation of the factors that determine Freight Classification: ![Air Freight - Ground Freight](https://blog.btxglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/NMFC%20InfographicREV3.png?width=740&name=NMFC%20InfographicREV3.png)BTX has compiled a list of some of the notable changes taking effect on August 13, 2022: - Glass, glazing units, 86960 - Cancelled Formerly class 70 now refers to 86700, glass (class based on length and density; 11 density ranges). - Weatherstrips or Weatherstripping NOI, 196955** - **Amended Previously based on material (classes 70 and 150) will now have 11 density-based classes. - Fittings, electrical, 62010 - Cancelled Previously 6 classes based on material.
