National Motor Freight Classification. The National Motor Freight Traffic Association publishes the National Motor Freight ClassificationÂ® (NMFCÂ®), a standard that provides a comparison of commodities moving in commerce. The NMFCÂ® is developed and maintained by the Commodity Classification Standards Board (CCSB).
Classification is used to assign rates to shipments. They are based on density, size, and value of the freight. The NMFC board has created a guide that is universally accepted by all major LTL freight carriers. Correct classification is crucial to receiving accurate freight quotes.
