Note 63571: NOTE-Applies on liquid, whether or not containing nicotine, used in electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) or electronic nicotine delivery systems for producing vapor and simulating smoking.
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Print NMFC 63570 and Class 70 on the BOL, describing the commodity as e‑liquid/e‑juice, boxed, non‑hazardous; keep an SDS on file to support non‑regulated status.
- Use leak‑resistant primaries (sealed caps with shrink bands), poly‑bag each inner, add partitions and absorbent liners, and place in double‑wall corrugated boxes.
- Verify formulation is not DOT‑regulated (check SDS for alcohol content and flash point). If regulated, review related items 63571 or 63572 before tendering.
- Unitize cartons upright on a pallet with corner boards and tight stretch wrap; avoid overhang and mark This Side Up to limit leak and crush damage.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
