NMFC 50026 - Confectioners' or Food Colorings | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 50026, Class 70 on the BOL and describe as “Colorings, confectioners’ or foodstuff, NOI,” noting boxed packaging and non-hazardous status.
2. For powders and liquids, use sealed inner containers with leak-resistant liners or poly bags, then place inside sturdy double-wall corrugated boxes with absorbent padding.
3. Palletize boxes tightly, add corner boards, and stretch-wrap to prevent staining or tip-over; mark upright orientation for liquids and avoid top-heavy stacking.
4. Keep colorings away from odor-sensitive freight and food in permeable packaging; use clean pallets and cover tops to prevent dust transfer and claims.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating delivers predictable LTL quotes and reduces reclass fees.
• Non-hazardous designation streamlines booking and avoids hazmat surcharges and paperwork.
• Box-friendly packaging lowers special handling costs and cuts spill or stain-related claims.
• Clear labeling and consistent NMFC usage accelerate tendering and improve on-time performance.
