NMFC 85320 - Gas Mantle Fabric, Cotton | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 85320 on the BOL and describe the commodity as “gas mantle fabric, cotton — boxed” to match the fixed Class 100 rating.
2. Use rigid corrugated boxes with dividers or tissue sleeves so the fabric doesn’t snag or abrade; add poly liners to guard against moisture and odors.
3. Palletize by column-stacking boxes on a 40×48 pallet with edge protectors and a top cap; strap twice and apply light stretch wrap to avoid crushing.
4. When quoting, select Class 100 without density. Provide piece count and carton dimensions if your carrier requests space info for accurate LTL estimates.

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

• Predictable costs: fixed Class 100 helps avoid density reclass and unexpected rebills.
• Non-hazmat textile means no hazmat surcharges or specialized paperwork, speeding tendering.
• Standard boxed packaging improves cross-dock flow and reduces claims from snag or crush damage.
• Cleaner audits: NMFC 85320 on the BOL supports fast dispute resolution and accurate billing.
