How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack belts and straps coiled with buckles and retractors padded. Use poly bags and cardboard dividers so metal parts never rub the webbing.
  2. Choose sturdy cartons (e.g., 32 ECT/200# test) and keep units snug with void fill. Do not overpack; maintain box integrity for stackable LTL handling.
  3. Mark each box with NMFC 23390, piece count, and kit IDs. For aircraft MRO, include part numbers and traceability docs inside the carton.
  4. Exclude pyrotechnic pretensioners or inflators; ship those separately under hazmat rules. This listing covers non-hazardous belts/straps in boxes only.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 rating streamlines quoting and TMS mapping, reducing reclass disputes and surprise adjustments.
  • Boxed presentation improves cube and stackability, cutting damage risk to webbing and buckles and lowering claims.
  • Clear separation from hazmat components avoids compliance delays and potential hazmat surcharges.
  • Predictable costs for OEMs, upfitters, and MRO providers enable reliable LTL lane planning and consolidation.
