How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm SDS details (solvent mix, flash point, UN/NA, packing group) and choose the correct NMFC 163030 subnumber so it rates at class 85 or 100.
- Place liquid or jelly forms in leak‑tight inner containers with absorbent, then UN 4G fiberboard boxes; secure closures, add orientation arrows and flammable labels. Use Limited Quantity marks only if allowed by the SDS/regulations.
- Palletize tightly and keep away from heat or oxidizers; request top‑load/no‑stack for glass inners and hold freight in a cool, ventilated area before pickup.
- On the BOL, include the hazmat description and 24‑hour number per 49 CFR, and reference NMFC 163030 to avoid density reclass since this item is not density‑rated.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Right subnumber selection can move pricing between class 85 and 100, preventing reclass charges and improving rate accuracy.
- Hazmat‑ready packaging and paperwork minimize refused pickups, storage time, and extra handling fees.
- Leak‑resistant inner containers inside rated boxes cut spill risk, cleanup liability, and claim exposure.
- Clear NMFC identification speeds carrier rating and shortens quote cycles across LTL networks.
