NMFC 38405 - Portable Plastic Toilet Buildings | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Ship units dry and empty: drain tanks, secure caps and service ports, and deodorize if recently cleaned to avoid odor complaints.
2. Mount on wooden skids or base runners and band at three points with edge protectors; wrap doors, vents, and roof panels to protect the plastic shell.
3. Quote precise exterior dimensions including vent stack height and any skid overhang; note limited access or construction site delivery, and request liftgate or forklift as needed.
4. Load side-by-side with blocking and bracing, no stacking; use nylon straps (not chain) and label Do Not Tip/This Side Up for safe handling.

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

• Clear item description under NMFC 38405 reduces reclass disputes even when fixtures are included or omitted.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier coverage and avoids hazmat surcharges for new or cleaned units.
• Proper skid and bracing practices cut damage to plastic walls and roofs, lowering claims and reship costs.
• Accurate accessorial planning (liftgate, site delivery, appointments) prevents redelivery fees and detention at jobsites.
