How to Use This Classification
- Match the exact product and form (tablet, cream, liquid shampoo) to the correct NMFC item under this parent group; the group itself does not assign a class.
- Detail packaging on the BOL: sealed cartons, inner bottles with screw caps, tamper-evident seals, and dividers for glass or fragile jars.
- For liquids/gels, use leakproof inners, a poly-bag liner, and absorbent pads; mark This Side Up and keep each inner to manageable volumes for spill control.
- Confirm the SKU is non-hazardous (no aerosols or high-alcohol formulas), add lot/expiration data if applicable, and request climate mitigation for heat-sensitive creams.
Business Value
- Correct sub-item selection prevents reclass and rebill fees, stabilizing LTL quotes and keeping invoices predictable.
- Damage-resistant packing cuts leak claims and protects shelf-ready goods, reducing returns and out-of-stocks.
- Consolidate small SKUs into master cartons to trim handling units and minimize minimum charge impacts while keeping inner packs segregated by lot.
- Clear non-haz declarations and precise descriptions speed tendering, avoid hazmat surcharges, and reduce carrier refusal risks.
