NMFC 134550 - Leaf Lard, Not Rendered | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print NMFC 134550 and Class 100 on the BOL to avoid density questions; this item has a fixed class rating.
2. Use sturdy boxes or wood crates lined with food‑grade poly to prevent grease seepage; add absorbent pads under cartons on the pallet.
3. Keep product cool and out of heat; in warm weather, request insulated pallet covers or reefer LTL to curb softening and leaks.
4. Palletize with zero overhang, corner boards, and stretch wrap; mark as “Edible Lard—Do Not Top Load” and separate from strong‑odor freight.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting and helps prevent reclass fees, delivering predictable LTL rates.
• Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and reduces handling paperwork and accessorial risks.
• Leak‑resistant packaging and temperature control reduce claims, chargebacks, and product loss at receivers.
• Clear labeling and proper segregation minimize odor contamination and protect food safety compliance.
