NMFC 138360 - Mordants NOI in Boxes/Drums | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Note NMFC 138360 and “Mordants, NOI” on the BOL; specify whether contents are in inner containers within boxes or in bulk drums.
2. For boxes: use sealed inner containers (e.g., HDPE jugs) with dividers and poly liners inside sturdy double‑wall cartons to prevent leaks and abrasion.
3. For drums: ship upright closed‑head steel or poly drums, tighten bungs, palletize securely with bands and stretch wrap, and mark arrows for upright handling.
4. Class is fixed at 85, so density won’t change rating; still provide accurate count, weight, and packaging type for precise LTL quotes and capacity planning.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 85 reduces reclass risk and dispute costs.
• Non‑hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat surcharges or paperwork.
• Flexible packing (inner containers in boxes or bulk drums) lets suppliers mix order sizes and lower handling damage claims.
• Clear NMFC labeling improves dock throughput and minimizes accessorials tied to inspections or repacking.
