How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm the unit is empty and dry: drain tanks, remove loose media, cap ports, and bag accessories before boxing or crating.
  2. Choose packaging by weight and fragility: heavy incinerating units do best in braced crates; lighter chemical or earth toilets can ship in double-wall boxes with foam blocking.
  3. Calculate packed density (lb per cubic foot) from the boxed or crated volume and total weight, then match the density to the NMFC 183460 class range 50–400 under Item 170.
  4. Note the exact item on your BOL: “NMFC 183460, Toilets—chemical/earth/incinerating, density-based, boxed/crated” to avoid reclass and inspection delays.

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

Business Value

  • Right-size your freight class by density to capture lower classes on compact, heavier builds and reduce LTL spend.
  • Crating and internal bracing cut damage risk on heaters, fans, or control panels in incinerating models, lowering claim exposure.
  • Standard, non-hazardous status broadens your carrier options and speeds quotes across regional and national LTL networks.
  • Packaging to Item 170 and stating NMFC 183460 on paperwork minimizes reclass fees, rebills, and dock holds.
