How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm boxed packaging and note any self-closing door hardware; choose cartons that shield hinges and latch protrusions.
  2. Weigh each box and calculate density in lb/ft³ under Item 170. Example: 20 lb in a 24 x 24 x 6 in box ≈ 2.0 ft³, density ≈ 10 lb/ft³.
  3. Palletize with edge protectors so steel edges do not cut corrugate; avoid nesting multiple lids without foam or slip sheets.
  4. Print “Refuse Receptacle Covers – NMFC 174625” on the BOL; include box count, weight per box, and total cube to speed LTL rate quotes.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate density-based entry minimizes reclass risk and unexpected adjustment fees.
  • Boxed sheet-steel lids handle well in terminals, reducing OS&D claims and improving delivery reliability.
  • Clear NMFC mapping (174625) streamlines carrier underwriting and supports sharper contracted LTL rates.
  • Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and documentation, shortening tender-to-pickup time.
