Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
22780.00 Battery Fillers, rubber, with or without hydrometer for each filler, in boxes 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Print NMFC 22780 and Class 100 on the BOL, e.g., “Battery Fillers, rubber, w/ or w/o hydrometer, boxed” to prevent reclass issues.
  2. Use sturdy corrugated boxes with dividers or foam; cap any hydrometer stems and keep rubber bulbs from being crushed or kinked.
  3. Palletize multi-carton orders with edge guards and tight wrap, keeping cartons flush to the pallet to reduce cross-dock damage.
  4. If shipping electrolyte or batteries too, list them on separate NMFC lines and apply hazmat rules to the acid—never combine descriptions.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 delivers predictable pricing and faster rate shopping without density calculations.
  • Non-hazardous item avoids hazmat surcharges and training overhead, boosting margins for service parts shipments.
  • Box-only packaging standardizes fulfillment, cutting pack time and reducing material variety for distributors and eCommerce.
  • Accurate NMFC labeling reduces reclass/reweigh charges and lowers claim risk on any fragile hydrometer components.
