Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
164770.00 Radiants, gas heater or radiator, clay, in cartons in boxes 110

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the commodity as “Radiants, gas heater or radiator, clay” on the BOL and assign Class 110 with NMFC 164770 to avoid reclass fees.
  2. Use double‑wall cartons with dividers or foam cells to stop edge chipping on the brittle clay plates; keep cartons inside rigid outer boxes.
  3. Palletize cartons with no overhang, add corner boards, and top cap; keep stack heights moderate to prevent crush damage during LTL cross‑dock handling.
  4. Shrink wrap tightly and mark “Fragile – Clay Radiants.” Example: a 24‑tile box per layer, max 4–5 layers per pallet to limit compressive load.

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