How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Measure total cubic feet for each box and record the exact weight to calculate PCF; example: 25 lb on 4.0 cubic ft = 6.25 pcf, then choose the matching class under Item 170.
  2. Pack razors with blade heads immobilized inside inner cartons and place those in rigid outer boxes; add dividers or trays to stop scuffing on plastic handles.
  3. Palletize cartons tight on a 40×48 pallet with no overhang; use corner boards and stretch wrap to prevent crushing lightweight, high-cube loads.
  4. Print the density (pcf), total weight, and carton count on the BOL; note “non-hazardous boxed disposable razors” to avoid inspection delays or reclass.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate density data under Item 170 prevents reclass fees and unexpected carrier adjustments for these lightweight, high-volume consumer goods.
  • Optimized case pack and tighter cube can move shipments into lower freight classes, cutting LTL spend on recurring replenishment lanes.
  • Standard boxed packaging speeds cross-dock handling and reduces damage claims versus loose retail packs or bags.
  • Non-hazardous status widens carrier options and allows faster rate shopping, improving cycle times for retail and e‑commerce restocks.
