NMFC 50075 - Auto Body Repair Compounds | Class 55

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Book as NMFC 50075, Class 55. It’s weight-based—list total weight per handling unit on the BOL; no density calculation needed.
2. Pack resin cans upright in double‑wall boxes with dividers and taped lids, or ship in tight‑closing pails. Bag hardener tubes and keep separate from resin inside the carton.
3. If the hardener ships in a separate package, use the same NMFC and note “Companion Package – Hardener Tubes” on labels and paperwork for clear linkage.
4. Palletize mixed cartons and pails on a single skid, use corner boards, and stretch‑wrap to containment. Avoid top‑loading on pails and protect from temperature extremes to preserve material quality.

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

• Predictable, lower LTL costs from a fixed Class 55—ideal for durable, packaged resin systems.
• Faster quoting and fewer rebills thanks to a straightforward weight-based rating with no density disputes.
• Clear packing practices reduce leak and cure-on-contact risks, cutting damage claims and reship expenses.
• Consolidate cans, pails, and tube packs under one NMFC, simplifying dock handling and minimizing accessorial fees.
