How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm the correct subclass within NMFC 111060 (Class 70–85) based on the official tariff notes for lecithin oil concentrate and your packaging; verify with your carrier before tendering.
  2. Overpack primary containers (e.g., sealed drums or totes) in sturdy crates. Line the crate with plastic sheeting, add absorbent pads, and secure with blocking to prevent oil seepage.
  3. Control temperature to reduce viscosity spikes. Request Protect-From-Freezing or heated service in cold months so lecithin stays pumpable and avoids delays at delivery.
  4. Mark the BOL clearly: “Lecithin, oil concentrate, NMFC 111060, Class 70–85, Non-hazardous.” Add orientation labels, and band or strap each crate to a pallet for safe handling.

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

Business Value

  • Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies paperwork, cutting administrative time and costs.
  • Defined class range (70–85) supports predictable LTL rate shopping and tighter landed-cost estimates on food, nutraceutical, or cosmetics inputs.
  • Crated overpack reduces leakage and damage claims, protecting ingredient integrity and preventing costly rejections at receivers.
  • Accurate subclass selection minimizes reclass and inspection fees, keeping transit on schedule and preventing unexpected freight bills.
