|---|---|---|
| 169320.00 | Rennet Extract, dry, in boxes or drums | 100 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Declare the commodity as “Rennet extract, dry, in boxes” and apply Class 100. No density calculation is required, which streamlines quoting and BOL entry.
- Moisture is the enemy: use poly-lined cartons or liners inside boxes, stretch-wrap to the pallet, and add “Keep Dry” markings. Example: 25 lb poly-bag liners inside corrugated masters on a 48x40 pallet.
- Protect product integrity: avoid co-loading with odor-heavy freight (cleaners, spices, perfumes) and keep away from high heat and humidity to preserve enzyme activity.
- Include food ingredient documentation such as lot/batch numbers and COAs when requested by dairies or ingredient distributors, and mark cartons “Food Ingredient – Enzyme” for smoother receiving.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 removes density disputes, cutting reclass fees and audit delays for predictable LTL costs.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and minimizes accessorial hurdles tied to hazmat handling.
- Consistent boxed packaging improves stackability and reduces OS&D risk, lowering claims and improving service reliability.
- Faster quoting and tendering thanks to a single, known class accelerates replenishment cycles for cheesemakers and ingredient suppliers.
