NMFC 179569 – Paint Strainers, Conical, Boxed | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book at fixed Class 92.5 with NMFC 179569; no density calculation needed. On the BOL: “Strainers, paint, cloth/paper, conical, nested, in boxes.”
2. Keep cones tightly nested, bagged to stay clean, and packed in double‑wall cartons with void fill to prevent collapse. Mark cartons “Do Not Crush.”
3. Palletize multiple boxes: interlock stack, add corner boards and a top sheet, and stretch‑wrap or strap. Avoid placing heavy freight on top to protect shape.
4. If boxes are very light yet bulky, ask the carrier about cubic minimum charges. Listing box count and dimensions helps avoid reweigh/reclass surprises.

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

• Predictable pricing: a fixed class removes density guesswork and speeds rate shopping across LTL carriers.
• Lower damage risk: nested, boxed packaging protects delicate conical shapes, cutting claims and reships.
• Operational simplicity: non‑haz status widens carrier options and eliminates hazmat fees and paperwork.
• Cleaner audits: precise NMFC mapping (179569) reduces disputes, short pays, and rating adjustments.
