NMFC Code Database

What are NMFC Codes?

National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) codes are standardized freight classification systems used to categorize commodities for shipping. NMFC codes consider four key factors: density, stowability, handling, and liability.

By using NMFC codes, carriers and logistics professionals can:

• Accurately determine freight classification and rates
• Simplify commodity descriptions and shipping processes
• Ensure consistency and standardization in freight transportation
• Reduce freight damage and shipping disputes
