NMFC Description Class
176530.00 Sizing, fabric, in pressurized dispensing containers, in boxes or drums 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. State on the BOL: “Fabric sizing, pressurized dispensing containers, boxed – NMFC 176530, Class 65.” No density details needed for rating.
  2. Pack cans or canisters upright in sturdy corrugated boxes (275# test or better) with cell dividers, valve caps, and void fill to prevent movement.
  3. Unitize cartons on 48x40 pallets with corner boards and stretch wrap; keep valves off the deck, mark arrows UP, and avoid top-loading heavy freight.
  4. Attach product SDS or spec sheet to confirm non-hazardous contents and water- or polymer-based formulation; this speeds carrier acceptance and reduces questions.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing: fixed Class 65 eliminates density disputes and reclass charges.
  • Faster quoting and tendering thanks to a single, clear NMFC listing for boxed pressurized containers.
  • Lower risk of damage claims when using dividers and upright orientation for can valves and nozzles.
  • No hazmat surcharge for non-hazardous contents, improving landed cost on routine LTL moves.
