NMFC 101690 - Potato Sprouting Inhibitor in Bags | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Describe on the BOL as: “Inhibitor, NOI, potato sprouting, in bags — NMFC 101690, Class 60.” Include total weight and pallet count for planning.
2. Unitize bags on a 40x48 GMA pallet, interlock stack, add a slip sheet, then stretch wrap with a top cap. Use corner boards to resist sag and fork-tine scuffs.
3. Keep loads dry and cool. Store and ship away from open foodstuffs and strong odors to prevent cross-contamination during LTL transfers.
4. Because this item is fixed at Class 60, you do not need density-based re-rating. Still provide accurate dimensions for space quotes and avoid inspection delays.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 60 minimizes reclass fees and disputes during carrier inspections.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies carrier selection across standard LTL networks.
• Bagged format stacks efficiently on pallets, improving cube utilization and reducing OS&D risk from loose handling.
• Clear NMFC alignment (101690) speeds quoting and tendering, helping procurement lock in competitive freight rates.
