Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
50331.00 Compounds, vehicle body sealer, composition, in extruded or die-cut forms or shapes, other than cellular, expanded or foam plastic, in packages 60

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List on the BOL as: Vehicle Body Sealer Compounds, extruded/die-cut, NMFC 50331, Class 60; include total package count and actual weight.
  2. Prevent sticking and deformation: place strips or die-cuts on release liner, bag in poly, and box in sturdy corrugated cartons with dividers kept flat.
  3. Control temperature in transit; avoid high heat that can soften the composition and cold that can make it brittle, especially during cross-dock handling.
  4. Palletize cartons square on the deck with slip sheets; strap gently with corner boards and mark Do Not Top Load for soft, shape-sensitive pieces.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable spend with fixed Class 60 rating—no density math, fewer reclass surprises, and faster quoting.
  • Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and broadens carrier options, improving transit flexibility.
  • Clear packaging in standard cartons reduces claim risk by protecting tacky surfaces and precise shapes.
  • Weight-based classification streamlines data capture at pickup and minimizes weight-and-inspection disputes.
