What freight class is carpet, rolled?

Typically class 85–250 (rate by actual density)

This commodity is classified by DENSITY, which means there is no single correct class for it — the class depends on how your particular shipment is packed. The range above is what typical shipments measure, not a ruling.

Confidence: low. Sources disagree or the commodity varies enormously. Treat this as a starting point only. The binding answer is always the commodity's NMFC item as filed — this page is a planning estimate, not a classification ruling.

Why carpet, rolled rates this class

Sources genuinely disagree — roll tightness swings density enormously, and some carriers price carpet per square yard instead of by class. Measure your actual roll.

How to get the real number

  1. 1.Measure the extreme outside dimensions of the loaded pallet — including any overhang and the pallet itself.
  2. 2.Weigh it loaded, pallet included.
  3. 3.Divide weight by cubic feet to get density in lb/ft³.
  4. 4.Look the density up on the July 19, 2025 scale — or let the calculator do all four steps.
