Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
137670.00 Mold Developer (Liquid Corn Solubles), in drums 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. State the full description on the BOL: “Mold Developer (Liquid Corn Solubles), in drums – NMFC 137670 – Class 65” to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
  2. Palletize drums upright with bungs at 12 o’clock; typically four 55-gallon drums per 48x40 pallet, band tightly and stretch wrap with corner boards for stability.
  3. Check drum lids, rings, and gaskets for tightness; add absorbent pads or a spill tray liner when required by the carrier, especially on longer lanes.
  4. Avoid temperature extremes that can thicken or ferment contents; request Protect From Freeze in winter and note any temperature guidance for food or fermentation facilities.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 65 delivers predictable LTL rating and helps avoid density disputes, reducing surprise reclass charges.
  • Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat fees and complex paperwork, expanding carrier options and lowering handling costs.
  • Drum packaging loads efficiently (3–4 per pallet) and ships securely, cutting claim risk and improving delivery reliability for processors and ag suppliers.
  • Accurate NMFC and item wording speeds quoting and TMS automation, shortening tender-to-pickup time on recurring lanes.
