NMFC 119540 - Household Dishwashers | Class 175

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Book at Class 175 and list packaging as boxed, crated, or NMFC packages 107, 216, 1019, 1082, or 1254; carriers expect this for household dishwashers.
2. Prepare the unit: drain hoses, secure racks, insert transit bolts if available, tape the door shut, and cushion control panels to prevent vibration damage.
3. Palletize the carton when possible; add corner protectors, strap the box, and wrap to the pallet. Mark This Side Up and use no‑stack cones if the top is delicate.
4. Call out accessorials upfront—residential pickup/delivery, liftgate, or inside delivery—as most dishwasher shipments occur to homes or job sites.

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

• Fixed Class 175 simplifies rating and reduces reclass disputes, keeping invoices predictable across carriers.
• Approved packaging pathways (boxes, crates, specified packages) lower risk of OS&D claims and save on damage-related costs.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines tendering and documentation, accelerating transit through carrier terminals.
• Clear packaging and accessorial planning minimize unexpected fees and shorten installation timelines for retailers and builders.
