How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Book as NMFC 57260, Class 110, and describe on the BOL: “Disposable diapers, incontinence briefs/liners, bedding pads.” Keep the wording consistent to avoid reclass.
- Pack per NMFC Package 2278: use sturdy corrugated boxes or secure packages, seal seams, and keep contents dry. Add inner poly bags to protect absorbent materials from moisture.
- Palletize for cube control: brick‑stack cartons on 48×40 pallets, avoid overhang, use corner boards and top sheets, then stretch‑wrap tightly to prevent crushing of soft packs.
- Quoting tip: class is fixed (no density needed), but include overall dimensions and pallet count for accurate LTL rates and to prevent inspection delays.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
