In this free, on-demand webinar, supply chain experts break down the upcoming changes to the NMFC density-based classification system—scheduled to take effect on July 19, 2025—including what it means for your business, how to stay compliant, and how to avoid costly delays or fees.
The NMFC system classifies commodities based on four main factors:
Measure the length, width, and height of your total shipment in cubic inches
Convert that total to cubic feet (divide by 1,728 for quick conversion)
Determine the weight of the total shipment in pounds
Divide the total weight by total cubic feet of the shipment to get the lbs/ cubic ft
If you have several different shipments, use the freight density calculation for each individual piece. Add the cubic inch measurements for the pieces together to get the grand total, then convert to cubic feet for a grand total before dividing by weight.
