Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
163030.00 Pyroxylin Solutions, NOI (liquid or jelly pyroxylin, including collodion):
163030.01 In glass in boxes or drums 100
163030.02 In inner containers in boxes or drums, or in bulk in drums 85

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
