NMFC 111250 - Metal Candle or Gas Lighters | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack lighters in sturdy boxes with internal dividers or foam so ignition mechanisms don’t rub or spark during transit.
2. Use corner protection for metal or metal-and-wood bodies to prevent dents, especially on retail-ready or gift-set lighters.
3. Label cartons by item count and model to speed receiving; keep SKU lists outside the box in a pouch for quick checks.
4. Do not co-pack fuel canisters; ship boxed lighters alone to maintain the non-hazardous classification and avoid delays.

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

• Fixed Class 85 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass risk for boxed, metal-body lighters.
• Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat surcharges and paperwork, accelerating pickup and delivery.
• Clear NMFC mapping supports cleaner audits and fewer billing disputes, improving cash flow predictability.
• Standardized box packaging makes it easy to consolidate with other housewares for fuller, cheaper LTL moves.
