| 155420.00 | Petroleum Nitroxylene, in boxes or drums | 70 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Print NMFC 155420 and Class 70 on the BOL, identify the commodity as Petroleum Nitroxylene packaged in boxes, and mark it non-hazardous.
- Place leak-tight inner containers (HDPE bottles or metal cans with gasketed lids) inside strong corrugated boxes; add a poly liner and absorbent to capture seepage.
- Palletize with no overhang, cross-stack where possible, then stretch-wrap and band; keep labels outward and add orientation arrows for cleaner handling.
- Book standard LTL service; density, weight, and dimensions do not change the class for this item, simplifying quoting and avoiding reclass disputes.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 70 delivers predictable LTL pricing and minimizes reclassification risk.
- Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and speeds carrier acceptance and pickup.
- Box-optimized packaging cuts spill cleanup and damage claims, improving on-time delivery performance.
- Accurate NMFC labeling reduces inspections, rebills, and administrative friction across carriers.
