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).
Always Put Your NMFC Code on Your Bill of Lading. If you donât have an NMFC code listed on your BOL, there is a good possibility that your freight will be reclassified. Some carriers will assign an arbitrary class if there is no code listed on the BOL, often outlined in a carrierâs rules tariff.
