Four-factor classification warning: NMFC classification depends on density, stowability, handling, and liability. A density-only estimate can be wrong when any of the other three factors or a commodity rule governs, which can result in carrier reclassification fees.

Density-only estimate. NMFC classification depends on four factors: density, stowability, handling, and liability. Commodity provisions, packaging, tariffs, and carrier rules can also change the official class.
