NMFC 169360 - Dried Calf Rennets in Boxes | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Put NMFC 169360 and Class 65 on the BOL. Describe as “Rennets, calf, dried” and note the packaging (boxes; drums or burlap bales if applicable) for cleaner rating.
2. Use sturdy cartons for boxed shipments: double-wall, poly-lined inner bags, and tight tape seals. Add desiccant to protect against moisture during LTL cross-docks.
3. Palletize tightly with stretch wrap and top/bottom sheets to contain dust and aroma. Avoid co-loading next to odor-sensitive freight like coffee, cocoa, or textiles.
4. For drums or burlap bales, confirm carrier acceptance and secure with bands or netting. If your system only supports boxes, overpack or re-box to match paperwork.

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

• Fixed Class 65 simplifies quoting and prevents density disputes, reducing unexpected reclass fees and delays.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, speeding tender and pickup windows.
• Clear item labeling and proper packaging lower OS&D claims for odor transfer, moisture exposure, and product loss.
• Flexibility to ship in boxes, drums, or burlap bales helps align with supplier practices without changing the NMFC.
