Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
176565.00 Sizing, wall or wallpaper; or Wallpaper Paste Additive; in jelly form, in containers in boxes 60

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the commodity as “wallpaper sizing or paste additive, jelly form, containers in boxes” on the BOL and select Class 60; no density input needed.
  2. Use leak-resistant primary containers with tight lids, then place each in a poly bag and cushion inside double-wall cartons to prevent seepage and crush.
  3. Palletize upright with orientation arrows; avoid overhang, add corner boards, and stretch-wrap top to bottom to restrain jelly-filled containers from shifting.
  4. Protect from temperature extremes—avoid freezing and high heat—to preserve viscosity and prevent container deformation during transit and storage.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable rating: Fixed Class 60 simplifies quoting and prevents reclass fees tied to density disputes.
  • Non-hazardous status streamlines documentation and typically reduces accessorial exposure and carrier restrictions.
  • Durable box-and-container packing lowers leak and damage claims, protecting margins and brand reputation.
  • Standard cartonized units cube efficiently on pallets, improving trailer utilization and lowering LTL cost per shipment.
