NMFC 41650 - Casings, sausage or food product | Class 60-110

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack casings in sturdy boxes with moisture barriers; seal brine-packed natural casings to prevent leakage and weight creep during transit.
2. Weigh each carton and the full pallet precisely; the density determines the final class within 60–110, so tighter, uniform stacking helps your rate.
3. Protect the product from crush and odor transfer: use rigid cartons, corner boards, and clean food-contact liners; avoid loading near scented goods.
4. On the BOL, list NMFC 41650, note material type (natural, collagen, cellulose, or plastic), carton count, and the computed density-based class.

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

• Density-driven pricing rewards compact palletization, often moving casings toward a lower class—and lower LTL costs.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and reduces documentation burden, accelerating tender-to-pickup time.
• Uniform boxed packaging minimizes reclass and reweigh fees, protecting margins for processors and distributor warehouses.
• Damage-resistant cartons and clear labeling reduce claims risk, keeping food-supply operations predictable and budget friendly.
