How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Calculate density for each master carton: measure L x W x H in inches, convert to cubic feet, then divide weight by cubic feet (e.g., 18x18x14 in at 42 lb ≈ 2.625 cu ft → 16.0 pcf).
  2. Use sturdy boxes with interior trays or dividers so devices, pods, and subassemblies don’t shift or activate during transit; bag any residual liquid to protect electronics.
  3. Document clearly on the BOL: “NMFC 61805 – ENDS/e‑cig devices, density‑based, Item 170,” with accurate weight, piece count, and dimensions for each carton.
  4. Boost density to lower class: right‑size cartons, remove empty display voids, and consolidate retail packs into snug master cases without crushing the products.

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

Business Value

  • Density‑based rating lets you lower freight class by optimizing carton size and pack‑out, driving better LTL rates on high‑value electronics.
  • Accurate NMFC 61805 usage cuts reclassifications, billing disputes, and surprise accessorials—clean paperwork equals predictable costs.
  • One code that covers devices, subassemblies, and essential parts simplifies purchasing and distribution across e‑commerce and wholesale channels.
  • Non‑hazardous listing broadens carrier options and speeds quoting, helping you hit launch windows and replenish retail inventory faster.
