How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm the product type—disposable air‑activated warmers, gel packs, or rigid metal/ceramic units—and select the class in the 70–100 range that fits its construction and packing method.
  2. For air‑activated packs, line cartons with poly to prevent moisture ingress and premature activation; for rigid warmers, use double‑wall cartons, dividers, and corner/edge protection.
  3. Palletize boxed or crated freight on 48×40 pallets with no overhang; column‑stack, apply corner boards, and stretch‑wrap, then add two bands for stability.
  4. On the BOL, describe the packaging clearly (e.g., “Footwarmers, boxed” or “Footwarmers, crated”) and reference NMFC 75570 with the chosen class to avoid reclass delays.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate packaging descriptions aligned to NMFC 75570 reduce reclass/rebill risk and keep LTL quotes predictable.
  • Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and eliminates hazmat fees, accelerating tender and transit.
  • Appropriate crating or reinforced boxing minimizes breakage and leakage claims, lowering total landed cost.
  • Class flexibility (70–100) lets you model rates by packaging choice and durability, enabling smarter cost‑to‑serve decisions.
