NMFC 194620 - Dehydrated Citrus Pomace | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the full NMFC description on the BOL: “Citrus Pomace—pulp and peel—dehydrated, in bags, not suitable for human consumption,” and include NMFC 194620 for clear tendering.
2. Palletize bagged product tight and square: use slip sheets, corner boards, and stretch wrap with a moisture barrier. Example: 40×48 pallet, 50 lb poly-lined bags, 40 bags per pallet (2,000 lb).
3. Protect from moisture and odor transfer. Use top sheets or pallet caps, avoid co-loading with food-grade items, and note “Keep Dry” and “Do Not Double Stack” if bag compression strength is unknown.
4. Prevent spills: choose high-burst woven or multi-wall bags, tape or heat-seal seams, and place fine-mesh netting or a liner under the load to capture granulate if a bag ruptures.

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

• Accurate NMFC usage reduces reclass fees and carrier inspections, keeping LTL invoices predictable.
• Dehydrated format ships more efficiently than wet pomace—less water weight means more usable material per load and better cost per ton delivered.
• Bagged packaging speeds cross-dock handling, lowers spill cleanup risk, and can improve claim outcomes.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier availability and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving routing flexibility.
