NMFC 50260 - Motor Fuel Antiknock Compounds | Class 100

Note 50261: NOTE-Does not apply on materials regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation as hazardous and required to bear a Hazard Class or Hazard Division label or placard. For classes applicable to such hazardous materials, see provisions elsewhere in this Classification.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm your blend fits “NOI, not required to bear a DOT hazard label” by checking the SDS and the Note under item 50261, then note this status on the BOL.
2. Select compliant packaging: small fills in steel cans packed in wooden boxes; larger volumes in steel drums or cylinders. Use tight closures, liners, and absorbent as needed.
3. List on the BOL: “NMFC 50260, Antiknock Compounds, NOI, Class 100,” include packaging type, piece count, and accurate gross weight for each handling unit.
4. Unitize securely for LTL: band wooden boxes to pallets, block and brace drums, and keep away from food-grade freight. Request non-stack if closures are sensitive.

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

• No hazmat labels or placards required lowers fees and broadens carrier options, often improving service speed and coverage.
• Fixed Class 100 with weight-based rating simplifies quoting and prevents reclass disputes tied to density or dimensional changes.
• Recognized steel and wood packaging reduces damage risk and claims, protecting product integrity and limiting OS&D costs.
• Clear NMFC mapping and packaging detail cut inspection delays and minimize accessorials from rework, relabeling, or repackaging.
