Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
111210.00 Life Preservers or Life Vests, pneumatic, rubberized cloth, completely deflated, with or without equipment for inflation or repair, in boxes 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 111210 and Class 100 on the BOL, noting “boxed, fully deflated pneumatic life vests” for clean rating and faster processing.
  2. Choose sturdy cartons with inner poly bags; cushion inflators, buckles, and oral tubes so they don’t abrade the rubberized cloth during transit.
  3. Palletize tightly with corner protection; keep cartons dry and away from heat to preserve the rubber coating and prevent deformation.
  4. If inflation or repair equipment is included, secure it in an inner carton and ensure items are non‑pressurized and compliant with carrier rules.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 eliminates density checks, reducing reclass disputes and surprise billing.
  • Non-hazardous status simplifies paperwork and avoids hazmat surcharges for routine LTL moves.
  • Deflated and boxed packaging cubes efficiently, lowering handling time and damage risk for marine suppliers and service centers.
  • Clear NMFC mapping accelerates quoting and procurement for marinas, outfitters, and safety gear distributors.
