NMFC 171410 - Rubber Accelerators, Boxes | Class 70

Note 171411: NOTE-Does not apply on materials regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation as hazardous and required to bear a Hazard Class or Hazard Division label or placard. For classes applicable to such hazardous materials, see provisions elsewhere in this Classification.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List on the BOL: “Rubber Accelerators or Softeners, NOI — NMFC 171410, Class 70, Non-Haz.” Add the product trade name and attach an SDS to prevent carrier questions.
2. Use double-wall corrugated boxes with sealed poly liners to contain powders or pellets; add a moisture barrier or desiccant if hygroscopic.
3. Palletize tight: no overhang, corner boards and a top cap, then stretch-wrap with 50% overlap for stability. Face all labels outward for quick checks.
4. Confirm the item is DOT non-regulated and review NMFC Note 171411 for any exceptions before tendering; apply the correct item if a variant requires hazmat handling.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating reduces reclass disputes and unexpected billing, keeping LTL quotes aligned with tariffs.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat accessorials, cutting total landed cost.
• Boxed packaging improves stackability and handling efficiency, lowering damage risk and claim exposure for chemical additives.
• Clear NMFC identification on the BOL speeds dock processing and supports accurate, automated rate audits.
