How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the product is truly nonalcoholic and not regulated; note “Nonalcoholic liquids, NOI” with NMFC 111600 and the selected class (100 or 125) on the BOL.
- Choose leak-resistant retail containers (bag-in-box, plastic bottles, or sealed jugs) and place them in strong corrugated boxes; add poly liners and absorbent pads to contain incidental leaks.
- Match packing to handling risks: use double-wall cartons (ECT 44+), tape all seams (H-tape), add orientation arrows and “This Side Up” labels for fragile or glass-packed items.
- Palletize with no overhang on 48x40 pallets, use corner boards, stretch wrap to 200% pre-stretch where available, and place a top-sheet to prevent spill migration.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Avoid hazmat surcharges and carrier restrictions by shipping under a non-hazardous NMFC—streamlining operations and training needs.
- Control LTL spend by selecting packaging that supports the lower applicable class within the 100–125 range when available.
- Reduce reclass fees and delays with clear NMFC 111600 labeling, accurate piece counts, and explicit nonalcoholic status on paperwork.
- Lower claim risk through leak-preventive packing (liners, absorbents, tight closures), protecting adjacent freight and your damage ratios.
