NMFC 56360 - Dehumidifiers + CaCl2 | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use NMFC 56360 and list Class 85 on the BOL; select “boxes” as the packaging type so carriers don’t apply density rating.
2. Prevent brine leaks: keep calcium chloride in sealed inner bags, add a poly liner or absorbent pad inside cartons, and cushion dehumidifier components with foam corners.
3. Keep cartons upright and dry; mark This Side Up and Keep Dry. Strap master cartons to pallets and avoid loading near metal parts that brine could corrode if moisture occurs.
4. When kitting units with refill packs, separate the desiccant from electrical parts with a divider and tape the bill of materials to the outside for quick dock checks.

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

• Fixed Class 85 delivers predictable LTL quotes and reduces reclass risk from density disputes.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges, paperwork delays, and carrier restrictions.
• Standard boxed packaging speeds cross-dock handling and lowers accessorials tied to special handling.
• Kitting dehumidifiers with calcium chloride in one box reduces pick touches and shrink, streamlining fulfillment and lowering total landed cost.
