How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use the fixed Class 70 rating and enter the actual box weight; no density calc is needed for this listing.
  2. Package fluids in strong corrugated boxes with tight inner containers, absorbent liners, and secure dividers to prevent leaks and movement.
  3. Complete hazmat documentation: include SDS, proper marks/labels for flammable liquids on the box, and provide an emergency contact on the BOL.
  4. 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.
