NMFC 111180 - Licorice Extract, Mass or Powder | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify the form at pickup: mass (solid extract) or powdered, then package accordingly—mass in boxes, drums, or Package 1276; powder in cloth or five‑ply paper bags, boxes, or drums.
2. Control moisture and odor. Use poly liners in drums and five‑ply bags, stretch‑wrap pallets, and keep away from strong‑smelling freight like solvents or spices.
3. Palletize to prevent bag rupture: interlock stacked bags, avoid overhang, add corner boards and straps. Mark pallets “Food Ingredient – Keep Dry” for handling clarity.
4. Document clearly: list NMFC 111180, Class 85, note “Package 1276” when used, and include lot/batch numbers for traceability in food supply chains.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 85—no density calculations, faster LTL quotes and fewer reclasses.
• Non‑hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and reduces accessorial risks tied to hazmat handling.
• Approved packaging (five‑ply bags, drums, Package 1276) lowers claim exposure from moisture, spills, or crushing.
• Clear spec alignment supports audit‑ready food logistics, improving customer confidence and on‑time delivery.
