NMFC 107900 - Fire Starters, Dry | Class 55

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.

• 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.
