Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 86220.00 | Gasoline Preservative, NOI, in drums | 70 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- State NMFC 86220 and Class 70 on the BOL with the description “Gasoline Preservative, NOI, in drums.” Declare hazmat, attach the SDS, and list a 24‑hour emergency contact.
- Use UN‑rated steel or poly drums with tight bungs and intact gaskets. Keep drums upright on a 4‑way pallet; add absorbent pads, edge protectors, two straps, and full stretch‑wrap.
- Palletize for LTL: for example, two 55‑gal drums per pallet, keeping total weight within carrier and liftgate limits to avoid refusals and rehandling.
- Tender only with hazmat‑authorized LTL carriers. Request hazardous materials accessorials and any liftgate or appointment needs, and apply flammable liquid labels per carrier guidance.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Correct Class 70 rating for this NOI liquid curbs reclass charges and keeps freight quotes predictable.
- UN‑rated drum packaging lowers spill risk and claim exposure, reducing downtime and cleanup costs.
- Hazmat‑ready paperwork and labeling reduce dock holds, pickup refusals, and accessorial surprises.
- Clear NMFC assignment streamlines routing guides and speeds carrier and 3PL onboarding for repeat shipments.
