Frequently asked questions

Does FedEx use the standard freight class scale?

This calculator uses NMFTA's current standard 13-band full-density table. Check that your commodity's NMFC item and FedEx Freight's tariff use that table; commodity-specific provisions or carrier tariffs can give a different class.

How do I find my FedEx freight class?

Enter the shipment's weight and outer dimensions to get its density, then read the class. For commodities with a fixed NMFC item, confirm the official class with FedEx Freight.
