How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Verify condition and pack: note “green” or “green salted” and whether shipping in boxes or drums; this determines the class within 65–100 on your BOL.
- Pack to contain brine and odors: line corrugated boxes with heavy poly, add absorbent pads, seal tightly; for drums, use leakproof lids and keep upright with secondary containment.
- Palletize smart: use slip sheets, corner boards, and stretch-wrap; mark “Animal Byproduct—Not for Human Consumption” if applicable and keep away from odor-sensitive freight.
- Plan transit: choose quick LTL service, consider insulated or refrigerated options in warm weather, and confirm carrier acceptance for animal byproducts before pickup.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate NMFC use (169380, class 65–100) reduces reclass and rebills, protecting margins on recurring lanes.
- Leak-resistant packaging cuts cleanup fees, claim risk, and potential carrier refusals—maintaining on-time performance.
- Choosing boxes or drums strategically can optimize pallet count and cwt pricing for lower landed cost.
- Pre-qualifying carriers and routing for minimal dwell time lowers spoilage risk and preserves product quality.
