It is not required, but it is important to insure that you receive the proper rates reflected in Pro Ship. The NMFC number is a numeric indicator that specifically identifies each type of product that can be shipped with an LTL common carrier. The NMFC number dictates the class that will be used on the BOL. If the class or NMFC number is incorrect on the BOL, the carrier can charge you for inspection fees to re-class the freight.
