NMFC 175700 - Shoe Polishers w/ Wool Buffer | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the commodity: shoe polishers with a wool buffer, boxed individually. Do not include liquid polish in the same carton to avoid reclass or damage.
2. Cover the wool head to prevent matting and lint transfer, then block and brace the motor housing so the shaft cannot shift during transit.
3. Print the BOL to show “NMFC 175700, Class 85, Boxed” and match it on carton labels to reduce inspection delays or reclassifications.
4. For multiple units, place sealed boxes on a 40x48 pallet, band and stretch-wrap with a top sheet, and keep heavy items off the buffer end.

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

• Predictable costs with a fixed Class 85—no density calculation reduces reclass exposure and simplifies rating.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and documentation, speeding tender and pickup.
• Boxed packaging streamlines dock handling and lowers claim risk for delicate wool buffers.
• Clear NMFC alignment shortens quote cycles, improving procurement turnaround and inventory availability for retailers and service shops.
