What freight class is plywood / sheet goods, palletized?

Typically class 60–85

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: medium. Sources broadly agree, but the range is wide — measure rather than assume. The binding answer is always the commodity's NMFC item as filed — this page is a planning estimate, not a classification ruling.

Why plywood / sheet goods, palletized rates this class

Tightly banded full stacks approach solid-wood density; part-stacks with air gaps rate several classes higher. Band tightly to lower cost.

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.
