Freight Class & Shipping Codes
FABRICS OF CARBON FIBERS FOR NON-ELECRTICAL USES
ShipNerd provides discounted shipping rates for shipping fabrics of carbon fibers for non-elecrtical uses.
When shipping fabrics of carbon fibers for non-elecrtical uses via small package couriers such as UPS or Canpar Express, or LTL providers, be sure to specify any necessary special handling.
Use the quick quote tool to see the best shipping rates for your shipment of Articles of Stone, Plaster, Cement, Asbestos, Mica or Similar Materials, Ceramic Products, Glass and Glassware.
Remember, package couriers only accept packages weighing up to 150lbs, and up to 165″ in length and girth combined. Shipments of Stone / Cement / Plaster on pallets, or over these size and weigh limits will ship via LTL Freight using ShipNerd.
LTL freight shipping of most stone, plaster, cement and ceramic products are assigned a relatively low freight class which translate to lower shipping rates.
HS: #681512
Harmonized System
The Harmonized System is a 6-digit coding standard for international classification of imported and exported products and commodities.
The HS number for fabrics of carbon fibers for non-elecrtical uses is #681512.
Schedule B: #6815120000
U.S. Export Commodity Classifications
United States export codes, more commonly known as “Schedule-B numbers” are based on the [international] Harmonized System and further classify the items you're shipping.
The Schedule-B number for “FABRICS OF CARBON FIBERS FOR NON-ELECRTICAL USES” is #6815120000 based on the classification below.
| Code | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Section | XIII | Articles of Stone, Plaster, Cement, Asbestos, Mica or Similar Materials, Ceramic Products, Glass and Glassware |
| Chapter | 68 | Articles of Stone, Plaster, Cement, Asbestos, Mica or Similar Materials |
| Heading | 15 | Articles of stone or of other mineral substances (including carbon fibres, articles of carbon fibres and articles of peat), not elsewhere specified or included. |
| Sub-Heading | 12 | |
| Statistical Classification | 0000 | FABRICS OF CARBON FIBERS FOR NON-ELECRTICAL USES |
NOTE: Schedule-B takes the 6-digit HS code, (in this case, #681512), and appends a 4-digit “Statistical Classification”, (e.g.- “0000”) to it.

NMFC®
National Motor Freight Classification® (US)
For (US) interstate, intrastate or international LTL Freight shipments an NMFC® Freight Class is assigned primarily based on density, (lb. per cubic foot).
Our Quick Quote tool estimates freight class based on size and weight entered and displays a list of carriers, services and rates for pallets of LTL Freight or delivery of parcels, (envelopes, boxes, shipping tubes, etc).
Freight Class may be adjusted up or down depending on type of item shipped, handling requirements, how “stow-able” the cargo is and the liability, (potential for loss, high value, etc).
Rates are lower for lower freight classes, and higher for higher classes. Shipments requiring special handling may be assigned to a higher freight class. Products which are high-values, easily damaged, prone to loss, may damage other freight, or are perishable may be assigned a higher freight class. Products which are large, or irregularly shaped, or un-stackable such as assembled furniture, machines, etc may be assigned a higher freight class.
In general, there are (18) NMFC® Freight Classes ranging from Class 50 to Class 500:
| CLASS | WEIGHT PER CUBIC FOOT | EXAMPLES (Most dense to least dense) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | Greater than 50lbs | Nuts, bolts, steel |
| 55 | 35 – 50 LB | Bricks, cement |
| 60 | 30 – 35 LB | Ceramic tiles, auto accessories |
| 65 | 22.5 – 30 LB | Books, bottled liquor |
| 70 | 15 – 22.5 LB | Food items, boxed paper |
| 77.5 | 13.5 – 15 LB | Tires, snowplows, bath fixtures |
| 85 | 12 – 13.5 LB | Pharmaceuticals, wood furniture |
| 92.5 | 10.5 – 12 LB | Computers, refrigerators |
| 100 | 9 – 10.5 LB | Cookware, letal, wine cases, rugs |
| 110 | 8 – 9 LB | Framed artwork, pneumatic tires |
| 125 | 7 – 8 LB | Small household appliances |
| 150 | 6 – 7 LB | Refrigerators, sheet metal, bookcases |
| 175 | 5 – 6 LB | Clothing, couches, stuffed furniture |
