How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use the fixed Class 70 rating and enter the actual box weight; no density calc is needed for this listing.
- Package fluids in strong corrugated boxes with tight inner containers, absorbent liners, and secure dividers to prevent leaks and movement.
- Complete hazmat documentation: include SDS, proper marks/labels for flammable liquids on the box, and provide an emergency contact on the BOL.
- Book with hazmat-authorized LTL carriers and note hazardous pickup; keep cartons upright, away from heat, and segregated from incompatible freight.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable Class 70 pricing simplifies quoting and lowers the risk of reclass charges.
- Correct hazmat labeling and sturdy boxed packaging reduce carrier refusals and costly delays.
- Accurate weight-based entries eliminate reweigh fees and keep invoices aligned with negotiated rates.
- Clear NMFC alignment supports faster approvals with insurers and warehouse teams, cutting touch time and claims exposure.
