How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Verify the product fits the listing: a liquid for motor fuel water absorption or anti-icing (fuel-line/fuel-tank additives), then select NMFC 50337 at Class 70.
  2. Package small volumes in inner containers inside sturdy corrugated boxes with absorbent/dividers; for larger volumes, ship closed-head drums, secured and labeled upright.
  3. Rate by weight: capture the gross weight of each handling unit (box or palletized drum) and note piece counts to avoid reweighs or reclass fees.
  4. Protect against leaks and temperature swings: seal caps, tape closures, poly-bag liners for case goods, and use pallet trays or spill pads under drums during LTL transit.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable costs with a fixed Class 70, weight-based rating—no density calculation or surprise reclassifications.
  • Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies carrier acceptance and transit planning.
  • Packaging flexibility (inner containers in boxes or drums) supports both retail case shipments and bulk replenishment, improving consolidation options.
  • Accurate weights and compliant packaging reduce OS&D and claim risk, speeding quotes and improving delivered cost per gallon.
