Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
66375.00 Fasteners, bag, plastic:
66375.01 Combined with paper price tags or paper labels, printed or not printed, in boxes 85
66375.02 Without paper price tags or paper labels, printed or not printed, in boxes 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack small plastic bag clips or ties in sealed inner polybags, then place those into sturdy corrugated boxes to prevent parts migrating through carton seams.
  2. Use dividers, trays, or small bins inside the box to stop shifting in transit; e.g., 1,000-count bakery closures in partitioned cartons.
  3. Right-size carton strength for the weight and avoid overfilling that can crush thin plastic closures; tape all seams with 2-inch pressure-sensitive tape.
  4. Palletize in flat layers, strap or wrap to the pallet, and mark BOL as “Plastic Bag Fasteners – NMFC 66375” for smooth carrier handling.

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

Business Value

  • Boxed packaging aligns with NMFC expectations, often keeping shipments at the lower end of Class 70–85 and trimming LTL rates.
  • Clear BOL description (NMFC 66375) reduces reclass inspections and surprise accessorial charges.
  • Compact, partitioned cartons cube efficiently, improving trailer utilization and lowering per-unit freight costs on bulk fasteners.
  • Non-hazardous status streamlines pickup and linehaul scheduling, shortening transit delays and reducing administrative overhead.
