The Freight Classification Development Center (FCDC) is currently reviewing a range of commodity groupings for potential transition to full-scale density-based classification. As part of this effort, numerous items—spanning diverse commodity categories—are being evaluated where density has been identified as the primary transportation characteristic.

We invite carriers, shippers, 3PLs, and all logistics stakeholders to review the current list of items under consideration.

This list will be updated on an ongoing basis, so we encourage you to check back regularly for new additions and updates.

Your input is critical.

If you have operational, or handling concerns related to moving any of these items to a full-scale density framework, we strongly encourage you to share your feedback. Industry insight helps ensure that classification changes are practical, transparent, and aligned with real-world transportation conditions.

Review the list. Stay engaged. Provide your feedback. Help shape the future of freight classification.

Help Shape the Future of Freight Classification

The proposed transition to full-scale density-based classification will affect carriers, shippers, 3PLs, and the broader freight industry. We value your expertise and encourage you to share your operational insights, concerns, or recommendations. Every submission helps us evaluate proposed changes and ensure future classification updates are practical, transparent, and informed by real-world experience.
