Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
175340.00 Sheeting, vapor-barrier or waterproofing; asphalt and rubber combined with filler, in boxes or in wrapped rolls 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Print NMFC 175340 and Class 70 on the BOL, and note packaging as boxes or wrapped rolls for fast carrier acceptance.
  2. Palletize heavy cartons tightly; use edge protectors, two or more steel/poly straps, and full stretch wrap to stop shifting.
  3. For wrapped rolls, ship on end with core plugs and chocks; use slip sheets between layers to prevent sticking or scuffing.
  4. Keep out of high heat to avoid asphalt softening; line cartons or pallet tops with poly film if product surfaces feel tacky.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 removes density debates, cutting reclass fees and invoice surprises.
  • Non-hazardous status speeds scheduling and widens carrier options without hazmat surcharges.
  • Clear packaging paths—boxes or wrapped rolls—simplify SOPs and reduce handling time on the dock.
  • Tighter unitization reduces damage risk, lowering claims and reship costs for waterproofing projects.
