NMFC 197660: Oil Stove Wicks in Holders, Boxed | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State the commodity clearly on the BOL: Wicks, oil stove, in metal holders, in boxes — NMFC 197660, Class 100.
2. Use corrugated cells or dividers so metal holders don’t deform; bag wicks to control lint and moisture. Example: 24-count inners, six inners per master carton.
3. Add orientation and Do Not Crush labels; fill carton voids with kraft or foam to prevent rattling and fraying during LTL handling.
4. Palletize cartons on 40x48 with no overhang, corner-board and wrap tight. Keep each carton manageable (under ~50 lb) for safer handling; weight is for quoting, class stays 100.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 100 rating, reducing reweigh and reclass fees across carriers.
• Lower damage risk when cell-packed boxes protect metal holders, cutting returns and service interruptions.
• Faster tendering and dock flow: non-hazardous commodity with straightforward paperwork and easy acceptance.
• Standardized pack counts improve inventory turns for heater parts distributors and repair networks.
