Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 101660.00 | Incense, in boxes | 100 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 101660 and “Incense, in boxes” on the BOL so carriers rate it at Class 100 without density details.
- Use rigid corrugated cartons with inner wraps or trays to protect brittle sticks/cones; add a poly liner to control odor and moisture.
- Palletize tight: no overhang, use corner protectors, and stretch-wrap; keep incense away from liquids or strong-scent freight to avoid cross-contamination.
- Plan for heat and crush risk—set stack height by box strength (ECT 32/44 as applicable) and avoid hot trailers on summer lanes when possible.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing: fixed Class 100 eliminates density disputes and reclass fees.
- Lower claims through odor/moisture control and crush-resistant packaging, reducing reships and customer returns.
- Faster quoting and tendering since data needs are minimal—ideal for LTL drops to retailers or fulfillment centers.
- Inventory-friendly: standardized boxed packs palletize cleanly, enabling better cube use and steadier freight rates.
