NMFC 171350: Rosin Residue/Pine Oil Foots, Class 55

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use tight-sealing boxes or UN-rated drums with liners and absorbent pads; torque drum bungs and stretch-wrap to pallets to prevent leaks and tip-overs.
2. Mark the BOL with NMFC 171350 and Class 55, select hazmat LTL service, attach proper hazard labels, and include the SDS plus a 24/7 emergency contact.
3. Avoid heat and ignition sources; if product thickens in cold, request temperature-aware pickup so drums or cartons handle cleanly at cross-docks.
4. Keep away from oxidizers and reactive chemicals; request “Do Not Stack” cones for weaker boxes, and leak-test drums before tendering the load.

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

• Fixed Class 55 rating simplifies quoting and reduces density disputes, helping you lock in predictable LTL costs.
• Correct hazmat packaging and documentation lower spill claims and penalties, tightening your delivered cost per pound.
• Palletized drums and sealed cartons speed cross-dock transfers, improving on-time performance for resin, adhesive, and soap makers.
• Proactive hazmat routing lets you compare carriers with endorsements, avoiding rejections, reconsignments, and return-to-shipper fees.
