NMFC 22780 - Rubber Battery Fillers in Boxes | Class 100

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.

• 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.
