NMFC 41580 - Casein (Milk Curd) | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State on the BOL: “Casein (Milk Curd), NOI — NMFC 41580, Class 60,” and list package type (bags, boxes, or drums), piece counts, and pallet quantity.
2. Protect from moisture and odors: use poly‑lined multiwall bags, lined cartons, or tight‑seal fiber/steel drums; mark “Keep Dry” and “Food Ingredient.”
3. Palletize evenly: stack 25 kg/50 lb bags square on 40×48 pallets, add corner boards, stretch wrap, and avoid overhang to prevent caking and tears.
4. Stabilize heavier units: strap drums with two bands and use drum cradles; for boxes, choose double‑wall corrugate rated for powders and cap the pallet.

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

• Class 60 keeps LTL rates competitive for dairy proteins compared with many food ingredients rated higher, improving landed cost predictability.
• No density rating needed reduces reclass disputes, inspections, and billing delays—clean paperwork and faster quotes.
• Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and eliminates hazmat surcharges, simplifying routing and compliance.
• Unified listing for bags, boxes, or drums lets procurement shift packaging without changing the freight class, streamlining TMS rules.
