NMFC 45450 - Octyl/Isooctyl Alcohol | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference NMFC 45450 on the BOL and note “perfumery grade” to distinguish it from industrial octanol variants.
2. Use lined steel or HDPE drums (e.g., 55-gal) or clean IBC totes with tamper-evident seals to protect aroma purity.
3. Palletize upright with absorbent pads and stretch wrap; choose a dry van and avoid prolonged heat or direct sun to preserve quality.
4. Request residential or liftgate services only when needed to prevent accessorial charges for these liquid chemical shipments.

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

• Non-hazardous status removes hazmat fees and paperwork, lowering LTL costs immediately.
• Single, simple NMFC listing reduces reclass risk and post-shipment rebills for a cleaner audit trail.
• Standard drum/tote packaging improves cube utilization and consolidation with other fragrance inputs, improving freight rates.
• Clear “perfumery grade” documentation minimizes contamination disputes and claims, protecting high-value inventory.
