How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Pack poles, vacuum heads, and hoses in sturdy double-wall boxes; bag loose hardware to keep kits complete.
- Add foam or corrugated partitions so metal edges don’t pierce the carton during LTL handling.
- Palletize multiple boxes with shrink wrap and corner boards; keep labels outward and avoid overhang.
- List NMFC 108320 and "pool cleaning kits, in boxes" on the BOL; do not mix chemicals in the same package.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
