NMFC Description Class
107900.00 Kindling or Starters, fire, composition, NOI, dry, in bags, boxes, crates or drums 55

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack composition fire starters or kindling in sturdy corrugated boxes or secure crates with a moisture barrier liner to keep contents dry and contained.
  2. Palletize on 48x40 skids with no overhang; interlock cartons, add corner boards, and apply stretch wrap and two straps for stable stacks.
  3. Print the BOL description as: “Kindling or Fire Starters, composition, NOI, dry, NMFC 107900, Class 55” and mark shipment as non-hazardous.
  4. Separate from liquids, fragranced goods, and dusty cargo; use a top sheet to prevent debris and protect retail-ready packaging.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

Business Value

  • Class 55 rating helps secure competitive LTL rates while allowing efficient cube utilization through safe stackability.
  • Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat surcharges and specialized paperwork, reducing total landed cost and transit friction.
  • Simple, non-density classification minimizes reclass risk and speeds quoting, audits, and TMS setup across multiple lanes.
  • Boxed or crated packaging reduces claims from moisture or abrasion, supporting consistent on-time delivery to retail and distribution hubs.
