NMFC 73225 - Frozen Foods, Dough & Juice | Class N/A

Find NMFC 73225 for frozen foodstuffs. Includes bakery dough, coconut, prepared foods, fruit and juices in boxes. Density-based classes and non-hazardous.

How to Use This Classification

  • Confirm your product is an edible good not otherwise named, then check related items 72002, 72004, 72005, 72007, and 72008 to ensure this group applies.
  • Detail contents on the BOL: e.g., “beverage preparation—non‑alcoholic syrup, 12 pails,” include net weights, condition (shelf‑stable or refrigerated), and any handling notes.
  • Use leak‑resistant, food‑safe packaging (sealed liners in pails, poly‑bagged powders, tight cartons). Add dividers for glass and stretch‑wrap with corner protection to prevent shifts.
  • Palletize uniformly and mark special care: Keep Dry, Do Not Freeze, or This Side Up. Photograph final loads to document condition and packing integrity.

Business Value

  • Reduces reclass and inspection risk by correctly applying the group when items aren’t named elsewhere.
  • Speeds quoting for mixed SKUs of edible goods, enabling consolidated LTL moves and more predictable freight rates.
  • Mitigates spill cleanup fees and OS&D claims through clear labeling and leak‑secure packaging standards.
  • Supports retailer and distributor routing requirements, improving dock turnaround and protecting brand reputation.
