How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Verify eligibility: product must not require DOT hazard labels. Check SDS Section 14; exclude aerosols or high-alcohol formulas that trigger hazmat.
- Specify packaging on the BOL (boxes or packages) and item form. Example: “NMFC 57100, Deodorants/Disinfectants NOI, boxed, non-haz, 22 cartons, 840 lb.”
- Prevent leaks and crush damage: tighten closures, use poly liners or sealed bags for liquids, add dividers for sticks/roll-ons, and overpack in strong corrugated.
- Confirm the subclass within the 60–100 range per your tariff or carrier rules, which often consider packing strength and product form.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Avoid hazmat surcharges and paperwork since this listing is non-hazardous, lowering total landed cost.
- One NOI covers multiple SKUs (sticks, roll-ons, water-based disinfectants), simplifying quotes and SKU changes.
- Clear class range (60–100) enables tighter rate shopping and reduces reclass risk when packaging is specified correctly.
- Stronger cartons and leak-preventative packing cut claims, lift service reliability, and help maintain contracted freight rates.
