How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Book shipments at Class 55; density details are not required for this listing.
  2. Package liquid drums upright on pallets, secure with steel or poly strapping, add a top board, and mark “This Side Up” and “Do Not Stack” if needed.
  3. Confirm drum closures are tight and leak-free; use absorbent pads or spill trays for extra protection during linehaul.
  4. Label the BOL with “Zinc Oxide Extender, Liquid, in Drums – NMFC 64340” and note non-hazardous status; attach the SDS if a receiver requests it.

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