When I tried to log in I got the following error:
"User does not have authority to access this application"
Your company administrator (or NMFTA customer service representative) must assign an available license to you.

If you have already requested a license, the company administrator can see your user id in the pending license list.

To assign a license to your pending account, the company administrator should do the following:

  1. Go to https://usermanager.nmfta.org
  2. Click Manage Licenses on the menu bar near the top of the page
  3. Click Assign in the row next to the company's license. The list should show your pending account (and all other pending accounts). If the account is not listed, select Unassigned from the Licensed State drop-down list, then click Search.
  4. Select the check box next to the subscriber's name
  5. Click Approve License Request for Selected User(s) or Assign License to Selected User(s)

The subscriber should recieve the "ClassIT Application License Request" email from NMFTA.

The subscriber must click on the link in that email in order for the account to activate.

The password will remain the same as it was.

What does the heading “Articles” refer to in the Classification?
Commodities in the NMFC are referred to as Articles.
How are commodities or articles identified?
Articles are identified by nouns, with adjectives being used to further define the Article.
How are commodities or articles grouped?
Similar Articles may be grouped together within broader categories, commonly known as Generic Headings.
Why isn’t there a class associated with the general headings?
These headings are for grouping purposes and do not provide classes.
What is an Item No.?
Each Article listing in the NMFC is identified with a unique number, called the Item Number.  Item Numbers may also have subprovisions, which can provide different classes, packaging requirements, or other relevant information for the same Article.
What if I can’t find the commodity I’m looking for?
See ClassIT Search Assist. For additional assistance in finding what you are looking for, contact the experts at the National Motor Freight Traffic Association. An additional fee may apply for this service.
How can I identify a Rule or a Package in the NMFC and ClassIT?
