NMFC 177020 - Laundry Sour in Boxes | Class 55

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List on the BOL as: Sour, laundry, NOI — boxes, NMFC 177020, Class 55, non-hazardous. Keep the packaging type as boxes to match the listing.
2. Use heavy-duty corrugated boxes with sealed inner containers and a poly liner; add absorbent pads to control minor leaks and protect neighboring freight.
3. Palletize tightly: no overhang, use corner boards and stretch wrap; avoid stacking with alkalis or bleach products to prevent chemical incompatibility issues.
4. Include the SDS with shipment and label cartons “Laundry Sour, Non-Hazardous.” Note lot numbers for traceability to laundries, hospitality, healthcare, or uniform services.

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

• Fixed Class 55 simplifies quoting and budgeting—no density calculation or dimensional breakpoints to manage.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and special handling surcharges, reducing total landed cost.
• Clear NMFC mapping (177020) lowers reclassification risk, helping prevent delays, reweighs, and surprise rate adjustments.
• Box-friendly packaging streamlines LTL consolidation, improving cube efficiency and damage prevention for recurring supply shipments.
