Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
71695.00 Flux, soldering (Soldering Salts), NOI, other than liquid, in boxes or drums 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List on the BOL as “Flux, soldering (soldering salts), dry, boxed — NMFC 71695, Class 70” to avoid reclass and billing disputes.
  2. Protect from humidity: seal salts in inner poly bags and place inside sturdy, double‑wall boxes; tape seams and add desiccant for hygroscopic mixes.
  3. Palletize tightly with corner boards, straps, and 3+ wraps of film; cap the pallet and avoid top stacking heavy freight to prevent box compression.
  4. Include an SDS and note “non-regulated, non-liquid” to speed carrier acceptance and simplify terminal handling.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 means no density math, enabling faster, cleaner LTL quotes and fewer reweighs.
  • Non-hazardous status cuts hazmat surcharges and documentation overhead, improving margins on repeat lanes.
  • Boxed packaging aligns with the listing, reducing reclass fees, concealed damage, and claim exposure.
  • Predictable mid-class rating supports FAK strategies and steadier freight budgets across chemical MRO shipments.
