NMFC 108450: Welding Kits in Boxes | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package loose materials securely: seal welding compound and sand in inner bags before boxing so fines don’t sift out during LTL handling.
2. Keep metal disks and punchings bundled or sleeved inside the box to prevent shifting that can crush sand molds.
3. Palletize boxed kits with edge protectors and stretch wrap; mark “This Side Up” to keep molds intact and avoid leakage.
4. Use a precise BOL description: “Welding kits, sand molds, welding compound, metal disks and punchings, in boxes, NMFC 108450, Class 70, non-hazardous.”

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 70—no density calculations, fewer reclass disputes, faster quoting.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges, special paperwork, and carrier restrictions.
• Standard boxed packaging stacks efficiently, improving cube utilization and reducing handling damage risks.
• Clear item definition (materials listed) supports clean audits and helps prevent accessorials tied to misdescription.
