How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use this exact BOL description for clarity: Burners, propane, NOI, other than hand held, in boxes — NMFC 115540, Class 70.
- Pack each burner in a rigid box with internal blocking around manifolds, valves, and igniters; cap gas ports and protect nozzles with foam or molded inserts.
- If shipping multiple units, place boxes on a pallet, add corner boards, and strap and wrap to keep burners upright and prevent valve damage during cross-dock moves.
- Do not include fuel cylinders or residual gas components; note No cylinders included on paperwork to avoid hazmat confusion and delays.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with fixed Class 70 helps prevent reclass fees and keeps LTL quotes consistent.

- Box-ready classification simplifies packing standards, reducing damage risk and claim exposure for burners with delicate fittings.
- Clear NMFC mapping (115540) accelerates rating and auditing, improving quote-to-book speed and billing accuracy.
