How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 75990, Class 70 on the BOL for fiberboard refrigerator breaker strips packed straight in bundles or cartons.
  2. Use tight bundles with edge protectors and plastic banding; palletize to keep strips rigid and prevent bending during LTL cross-dock handling.
  3. Wrap bundles to guard against moisture wicking into fiberboard; add a slip sheet and top sheet for stacked pallets.
  4. Mark cartons with Do Not Bend and place longest dimension parallel to pallet boards to reduce overhang and crush risk.

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