How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Book at Class 70 and list NMFC 108280 on the BOL. Describe as “Kits, shaving, in boxes” and include carton counts for clean, fast rating.
- Prepare contents to prevent movement: sheath razor blades, cap razors, and bag any gels or lotions. Use dividers or foam so kits stay snug inside each box.
- Choose rigid corrugated cartons (double-wall for heavy metal handles). Fill voids and tape all seams; mark orientation if liquids are inside the kit.
- Palletize on 48x40 with no overhang, stretch-wrap tightly, and add a top cap. Keep stacks uniform; for example, 20 master cartons per pallet for easy handling.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable spend: fixed Class 70 removes density disputes and cuts reclass fees.
- Broader carrier access and no hazmat surcharge since the item is non-hazardous.
- Damage reduction from boxed kit packaging lowers claims and returns, improving customer experience.
- Simpler quoting and faster tendering; easier to negotiate FAK tiers and forecast landed costs.
