Notes

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.

How to Determine Your Class

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.

Business Value

  • 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.
