How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Put NMFC 50310 – Compounds, sugar clarifier, NOI, Class 70 on the BOL and pallet labels. Record actual weight per pallet and per inner package for accurate rating.
  2. Pick packaging based on form: poly-lined bags for dry powders, fiber/HDPE drums for granules, and IBC totes for liquids. Use stretch wrap, corner boards, and top sheets to prevent tears and moisture.
  3. Keep product dry and clean during transit. Palletize off the floor, add desiccant if humidity risk, and avoid co-loading next to odor-sensitive foodstuffs.
  4. Share SDS or spec sheet with the carrier even though it is non-hazardous. This speeds pickups and helps terminals stage and store it correctly.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable LTL pricing with fixed Class 70 and weight-based rating—no density math or reclass disputes.
  • Wider carrier options and fewer regulatory add-ons since it ships non-hazardous in standard bags, drums, or totes.
  • Lower claims exposure: solid unitization and moisture control reduce spills, caking, and delivery delays.
  • Procurement flexibility: choose bags for short hauls or drums/totes for longer lanes to optimize cost per pound.
