NMFC 50475 - Windshield Washer Solutions | Class 55–65

Note 50476: 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 the product is not DOT-regulated: review the SDS for alcohol content and transport section to ensure no hazard label or placard is required under NMFC 50475.
2. Use leak-resistant retail jugs or bottles inside sturdy corrugated boxes. Add liners or poly bags and absorbent pads, torque caps, and mark upright arrows to prevent seepage.
3. Palletize tight: interlock cases, strap or stretch-wrap, add a top sheet, and avoid pallet overhang. Keep case weights manageable for class accuracy and safe handling.
4. Determine the weight-break class. Heavier, multi-case pallets often rate at Class 55, while lighter shipments may be Class 65. Print NMFC 50475 and the chosen class on the BOL.

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

• No hazmat surcharge or placarding drives lower total landed cost and wider carrier acceptance.
• Weight-based class range (55–65) rewards consolidated, heavier moves with better rates.
• Standard boxed packaging stacks efficiently, reducing damage risk and claim exposure.
• Straightforward classification speeds quoting and dispatch, improving on-time tendering.
