How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Reference NMFC 111100 at Class 125 on the BOL for oil‑free lecithin in boxes or drums so carriers rate it correctly without density details.
- Use sturdy corrugated boxes or fiber drums lined with sealed poly bags; keep product dry and protected from oils or odors, adding desiccant when humidity is high.
- Palletize with no overhang, apply corner boards and stretch wrap, and use a top sheet to prevent dust; label pallets to indicate orientation and Keep Dry.
- Request food‑grade, swept equipment and avoid trailers that recently hauled oils; include COA or spec sheet if required by the consignee.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 125 means predictable pricing and fewer reclass or dispute fees compared with density‑based items.
- Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and simplifies consolidation with other food ingredients, lowering accessorial risk.
- Robust, moisture‑controlled packaging reduces contamination and damage claims, protecting product quality and shelf life.
- Clear NMFC mapping accelerates quoting and routing decisions, shortening tender cycles and improving on‑time performance.
