NMFC 39820 - Tear Gas Candles in Wood Boxes | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Declare hazmat on the BOL and use the Proper Shipping Name and UN/NA number from the SDS; include a 24/7 emergency response phone.
2. Use sturdy wooden boxes with tight closures; add inner liners and cushioning so candles can’t shift or abrade during LTL handling.
3. Apply required hazmat labels/markings and mark gross weight on each box; keep away from food items and heat sources on the pallet.
4. Coordinate pickup with a hazmat-authorized carrier and budget for hazmat accessorials; example: palletize 12 training candles with banding and corner boards.

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

• Correct Class 150 classification prevents reclass fees and rebills, stabilizing your LTL rates.
• Wooden-box packaging lowers spill/irritant exposure risk, reducing claims and liability.
• Accurate hazmat documentation speeds dock clearance and minimizes pickup refusals or delays.
• Consistent NMFC usage improves multi-carrier quoting accuracy and supports insurance compliance.
