How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack each plastic agitator in a sturdy box with foam-in-place or molded inserts to protect the hub/spline and paddles; add dividers for multi-pack cartons.
  2. Use 32 ECT or 200# test cartons at minimum; upgrade to double-wall if cartons will be stacked or shipped via cross-dock networks with higher compression risk.
  3. Palletize cartons on a 40x48 footprint with no overhang; limit stack height to prevent crush on plastic fins and mark “Do Not Stack” if using single-wall cartons.
  4. Print the BOL with NMFC 124005 and “Class 300 – Boxed” to avoid reclass, and photograph packed contents before sealing to support claims prevention.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 300 simplifies rating and quoting regardless of density, reducing time spent on calculations and reweigh disputes.
  • Correct NMFC code on the BOL cuts the risk of costly reclass charges and accelerates carrier acceptance in LTL networks.
  • Purpose-built box and insert packaging lowers breakage on delicate plastic fins and hubs, reducing claims and return handling costs.
  • Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and mode selection, enabling faster tendering and broader carrier options.
