NMFC 179566 - Rubber Lab Stoppers in Boxes | Class 70

Note 179567: NOTE-Stoppers may have holes for inserting laboratory appliances.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack rubber laboratory stoppers in sturdy corrugated boxes; line with clean poly bags and use dividers so pieces don’t compress or stick together.
2. Print NMFC 179566 and Class 70 on the BOL and carton labels, describe the goods as rubber laboratory stoppers, and reference the related note (item 179567) if requested.
3. Keep carton weights reasonable (around 40–50 lb) and fill voids with kraft paper or air pillows to prevent shifting through multiple LTL touches.
4. Palletize even, column-stacked cartons with edge protection; top-sheet and stretch-wrap to maintain cube and avoid crushing softer rubber inventory.

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

• Fixed Class 70 eliminates density math, giving predictable LTL quotes for mixed stopper sizes and counts.
• Non-hazardous rubber reduces paperwork and avoids hazmat surcharges, lowering total landed cost.
• Standard boxed packaging stacks efficiently, improving trailer utilization and reducing damage-related claims.
• Accurate NMFC and description on the BOL minimizes inspections and reclass fees, speeding dock-to-dock transit.
