NMFC 50177 - Flour/Bread Enrichment Compounds | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Put NMFC 50177 on the BOL, declare exact net weight per handling unit, and note packaging (box, bag, or drum) plus key ingredients like thiamine HCl, niacin, riboflavin, and iron from tenic phosphate.
2. Control moisture and caking: line corrugated boxes with food‑grade poly liners, wrap pallets tightly, and mark “Keep Dry.” Use temperature control only if your spec requires it.
3. Prevent odor cross‑contamination: avoid co‑loading near perfumes, spices, or chemicals; use slip sheets and full pallet shrouds to protect fine powder blends.
4. Handle thoughtfully: use sturdy 4‑way pallets, band drums/boxes, block and brace to stop shifting, and avoid top‑loading to prevent crushing and product sifting.

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

• Fixed Class 85 rating streamlines quotes and audits—no density calculations or reclass surprises.
• Non‑hazmat status expands carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, lowering total landed cost.
• Food‑grade packaging practices reduce claims, contamination risk, and costly production delays for mills and bakeries.
• Accurate weights and clear NMFC labeling minimize reweigh/reclass fees and keep LTL transit times predictable.
