NMFC 171310 – Rosin Liquor in Drums | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm hazmat details from the SDS and ensure the drums meet UN performance standards; use tight bungs and leak-tested closures before tendering.
2. Palletize closed-head drums with drum cradles or rings, add absorbent pads and a full perimeter band, then stretch-wrap to prevent drum rub.
3. Apply correct hazmat labels and markings on two sides, and keep shipping papers and emergency contact information accessible for driver inspection.
4. Schedule carriers that accept hazmat LTL, note Class 70 on the BOL, and avoid stacking unless drums are rated and pallet design supports it.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies rating, giving predictable LTL quotes for coatings, adhesives, and ink manufacturers shipping rosin liquor.
• Proper hazmat packaging and documentation reduce reclass fees, surcharges, and terminal delays that drive up total landed cost.
• Secure palletizing and spill control steps lower claims risk and keep production lines supplied without interruption.
• Clear NMFC alignment streamlines carrier selection and improves pickup success for time-sensitive replenishment orders.
