NMFC 168800 - Razor Blades in Boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity on the BOL as “Razor Blades, in boxes — NMFC 168800 — Class 100” to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
2. Pack retail sleeves or bulk blades in a rigid inner carton, add chipboard or plastic blade guards, and seal seams firmly; use double‑wall cartons for heavier counts.
3. Palletize small cartons into a master case, keep product within the pallet footprint, add corner boards, and stretch‑wrap with a top sheet to avoid puncture or snag.
4. Skip density calculations—rate as Class 100—and consolidate multiple small boxes to cut handling charges and improve damage control.

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

• Predictable rating: fixed Class 100 means faster quotes and fewer reclass fees, streamlining LTL negotiations.
• Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and broadens carrier options for barber supply and hardware distributors.
• Boxed format reduces claim risk from sharp edges, protecting margins on high-count, low-cube shipments.
• Standardized NMFC use simplifies SOPs across eCommerce fulfillment and wholesale replenishment, improving throughput and tender accuracy.
