How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm kit components and review the SDS for each liquid (waving lotion, neutralizer). Determine if hazmat service is required and note any limited quantity eligibility.
- Package per NMFC Package 2407 or sturdy corrugated boxes: leak‑resistant inner bottles sealed in poly bags with absorbent, dividers, and tight closures (e.g., four 8‑oz bottles plus rods).
- Mark and document clearly: list NMFC 58900 and Class 92.5 on the BOL, declare hazardous materials when applicable, include an emergency contact, and place SDS in a document pouch.
- Palletize upright with no overhang, band and stretch‑wrap, and keep away from heat sources. Request liftgate service for salon or residential deliveries when needed.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 92.5 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass risk, keeping LTL costs predictable.
- Using Package 2407 standards cuts damage claims and minimizes carrier inspections or delays.
- Proper hazmat setup lowers refusal risk and unexpected surcharges, improving on‑time performance.
- Consistent kit classification supports consolidation and sharper contract rates for salon supply runs.
