2025 NMFC Changes to Impact More Than 5,000 Items: Is Your Business Prepared?

The less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping industry is preparing for major shifts as updates to the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) take effect on July 19, 2025.

 

Industry experts predict that over 20% of commonly shipped items could experience changes to their NMFC classifications, directly influencing freight costs. Shippers should be ready for the transition to a 13-tier density-to-class table on commodities that don't have stowability, handling or liability concerns. This means a thorough review of product dimensions and shipping practices will be essential to avoid unexpected expenses. Staying ahead of these changes is vital for a smooth transition, and Jarrett is here to assist every step of the way.
