NMFC 46610 - Soda or Sodium Salts, NOI | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use this NOI when shipping soda or generic sodium-based salts not otherwise indexed; include the exact chemical name and concentration on the BOL.
2. Pull the SDS to verify hazmat status, proper shipping name, UN/NA number, and packing group if applicable; add required labels and emergency contact details.
3. Package solids securely: poly-lined paper bags or drums for powders, or certified bulk sacks; palletize tight, wrap to the deck, and keep product dry to prevent caking.
4. Confirm compatibility and segregation with carrier (e.g., away from acids or food when required), and request hazmat-capable equipment before tendering.

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

• Prevents reclass and inspection fees by aligning NOI usage with SDS-backed details and accurate BOL descriptions.
• Cuts damage and cleanup costs through moisture-resistant packaging and fully enclosed, properly labeled pallets.
• Improves quote accuracy by providing container type, piece count, and hazmat data so carriers can rate without delays.
• Reduces handling spend by consolidating into bulk sacks where feasible and selecting hazmat-certified carriers to avoid refusals.
