NMFC 50225 - Ice Melt/Anti-Slip Compounds | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print the BOL as: “Compounds, ice antislipping and ice melting, dry, boxed — NMFC 50225, Class 50.” Quote and book by total weight; dimensions are for planning only.
2. Box the dry pellets or flakes in sturdy, poly‑lined corrugated cartons. Tape all seams, add a plastic liner, and mark Keep Dry to prevent caking and residue.
3. Palletize tight with stretch wrap and a top cap. Avoid overhang, use corner boards, and keep away from food items or bare metals in case of minor leakage.
4. If shipping off-season replenishment, consolidate multiple boxed SKUs on one pallet. Declare actual net and tare to reduce reweighs and keep the Class 50 rating intact.

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

• Low fixed Class 50 helps cut LTL spend compared to higher-class chemicals, ideal for bulk winter stocking.
• Weight-based rating reduces reclass exposure—accurate pounds matter more than density, easing quoting and audit.
• Non-hazardous status speeds carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat fees or special paperwork.
• Box-friendly packaging stacks efficiently, improving trailer cube and reducing OS&D claims from moisture or granule dust.
