The freight industry continues moving toward a more standardized, density-based classification system and these new NMFC updates may impact how shipments are classified, documented, and billed.
Some of the changes include:
• Expanded 13-tier density classifications
• Consolidation of multiple commodity groups
• Updated documentation requirements for certain commodities
• Increased focus on accurate dimensions, packaging, and freight descriptions
What does this mean for shippers? Accurate shipment information will become even more important in helping reduce:
✔ Reclassification charges
✔ Billing disputes
✔ Delays and invoice adjustments
At GLB Solutions, we’re helping customers navigate these changes by reviewing classifications, density calculations, packaging details, and BOL documentation to help reduce costly variances and improve shipment accuracy.
As the industry evolves, our goal remains the same: helping our customers ship smarter and avoid unnecessary surprises.
If you have questions about how these updates may impact your freight, GLB is here to help. Contact us at glbsolutions.com.
