How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Quote using total shipment weight at Class 110; dimensions help carriers plan but do not affect this weight-based NMFC.
- Pack in rigid boxes with interior padding; stage lead/steel weights at the bottom and isolate helmets or masks from hard edges.
- Ship items dry: bag neoprene suits, gloves, and boots to prevent odor and corrosion when near metal weights.
- Do not include cylinders or battery-powered lights; this entry covers gloves, helmets, shoes, suits, and weights shipped in boxes.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable Class 110 rating simplifies LTL budgeting and avoids density disputes.
- Boxed-only scope lowers handling risk and damage claims for outfitters, dive schools, and rental fleets.
- Clear item limits reduce reclass fees when weights and suits ship without cylinders or hazmat components.
- Faster quoting and booking across carriers thanks to a single, non-hazardous code.
