NMFC 183420 - Silver-Plated Toilet Articles | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm eligibility: items must be silver-plated or silver-trimmed (not solid precious metals). Includes toilet cases containing toilet or manicure sets packaged in boxes under Class 150.
2. Cushion each set: use anti-tarnish paper, foam trays or dividers, and poly bags to isolate metal parts. Double-wall cartons (32 ECT or 200#) with tight void fill and H-tape seals reduce scuffing.
3. Palletize boxed shipments cleanly: no carton overhang, use corner boards and stretch wrap, add a top cap for stack pressure. Mark Fragile and Keep Dry; avoid double-stacking lightweight decorative sets.
4. State it clearly on the BOL: “Toilet Articles, silver plated or silver trimmed (NOI), in boxes — NMFC 183420 — Class 150 — Non-hazardous.” No density needed for the class.

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

• Predictable rating: fixed Class 150 simplifies quoting and minimizes reclass surprises for silver-trimmed toilet and manicure sets.
• Broader carrier access: non-hazardous goods move without hazmat fees, improving routing options and transit speed.
• Compliance-driven savings: boxed packaging matches the tariff, reducing repack, OS&D claims, and accessorial risk.
• Clean audits and fewer disputes: explicit NMFC 183420 on paperwork speeds billing, aids rate benchmarking, and strengthens claim defensibility.
