NMFC 175720 - Shoe Scraper & Brush | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State the line on your BOL exactly: “Shoe Scraper and Brush, combined — NMFC 175720, Class 85” to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
2. Pack in sturdy corrugated cartons; sleeve or cap the bristles to avoid crushing, and pad metal or wood frames with edge protectors. Polybag parts to contain loose fibers.
3. Palletize cartons with no overhang, use corner boards, and strap or stretch‑wrap tightly. Add a top sheet if other freight may be stacked above.
4. For heavy cast‑iron bases with coir brushes, use inner wrap and a bristle guard inside a 32 ECT or stronger carton; double‑box for parcel-to-LTL transfers.

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

• Fixed Class 85 means predictable LTL pricing and faster quotes—no density math or reweigh disputes.
• Boxed packaging aligns with carrier handling rules, reducing reclass fees and minimizing accessorials.
• Nonhazardous status broadens carrier selection and speeds tendering during capacity crunches.
• Better cartonization protects bristles and frames, cutting damage claims, replacements, and return costs.
