| The Commodity Classification Standards Board |
 |
The National Motor Freight ClassificationTM (NMFCTM) is developed and maintained by the Commodity Classification Standards Board (CCSB). The CCSB is an autonomous board consisting of not less than three or more than seven full-time employees of NMFTA, one of whom serves as Chairman. At present, there are six CCSB members—professionals who collectively have over 130 years of experience with the NMFCTM. In addition, the CCSB’s staff includes a Legal Counsel and Packaging Consultant.
CCSB and Staff Members
The CCSB investigates, initiates, considers and acts on matters affecting the provisions of the NMFCTM, including: proposals for amending the classification of commodities; commodity descriptions; classes; rules; packaging definitions, specifications or requirements; bill of lading formats, terms and conditions; and any other provisions contained in the NMFCTM.
Anyone or any group having an interest in the content of the NMFCTM can file a proposal to amend the NMFCTM. Proposals are considered through a formalized, transparent decision-making process in which all interested persons are invited to participate.
