How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Ship devices only: no fuel, no activated packs, and no accessories containing flammables. Drain, clean, and cap any openings before boxing.
  2. Use sturdy corrugated boxes with inner dividers or sleeves to prevent metal-to-metal scuffs. For dense bulk loads, upgrade to wood crates to resist compression.
  3. Mark cartons with “Metal Pocket Warmers – Device Only,” include NMFC 193980, Class 100, and piece counts. This reduces reclass and inspection delays.
  4. Palletize cartons tight to a 40x48 pallet, strap and wrap with corner boards. Keep heavier boxes centered and avoid overhang; example: 24 x 20-lb cartons per pallet.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 rating delivers predictable LTL quotes and easier multi-carrier rate shopping.
  • Non-hazardous device-only status helps avoid hazmat paperwork and fees, accelerating pickup and transit.
  • Boxes or crates provide packaging flexibility—retail case packs or rugged field supply loads—cutting damage claims and returns.
  • Clear NOI coverage for metal warmers reduces reclass risk and chargebacks, protecting margins during winter demand surges for outdoor retailers and PPE suppliers.
