NMFC 175375 – Cocoa Beans | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote NMFC 175375 on the BOL and list packaging clearly, e.g., “40 jute sacks (50 kg each) on one 48x40 pallet, vented wrap, corner boards.”
2. Account for the hazard flag: avoid fully sealing pallets, allow airflow, and note any fumigation or CO2 risk; attach SDS or treatment certificates if applicable.
3. Control moisture and odor transfer: add desiccants, use poly-lined inner bags in humid lanes, keep away from chemicals and perfumed freight, and avoid top-loading soft bags.
4. Plan inspections and import rules: provide FDA prior notice, phytosanitary/fumigation documentation, and use ISPM-15 stamped pallets for cross-border or export shipments.

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