This commodity is NOT classified by density. Its NMFC item assigns the class directly based on handling, stowability or liability, so packing it tighter will not change the rating.

Confidence: low. Sources disagree or the commodity varies enormously. Treat this as a starting point only. The binding answer is always the commodity's NMFC item as filed — this page is a planning estimate, not a classification ruling.

  1. 1.Measure the extreme outside dimensions of the loaded pallet — including any overhang and the pallet itself.
  2. 2.Weigh it loaded, pallet included.
  3. 3.Divide weight by cubic feet to get density in lb/ft³.
  4. 4.Look the density up on the July 19, 2025 scale — or let the calculator do all four steps.
