NMFC 50340 - Water Treatment Compounds | Class 65–70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the product meets “not medicated nor perfumed” criteria and is non-hazardous; confirm via SDS and list NMFC 50340 on the BOL.
2. Weigh each carton or package to determine whether it rates at Class 65 or 70; keep scale tickets to prevent billing disputes.
3. For powders or granules, use poly liners inside sturdy boxes, tape all seams, and add moisture barriers to prevent caking and leakage.
4. Palletize boxed units with slip sheets, cross-stack for stability, and stretch-wrap tightly; keep away from odor-sensitive freight and oxidizers.

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

• Weight-based classing (65–70) avoids density disputes, cutting reclass fees and post-audit surprises.
• Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat surcharges and documentation, reducing total landed cost.
• Moisture-safe, leak-resistant packaging lowers claims risk and accessorials tied to cleanup or refused freight.
• Clear NMFC alignment (50340) speeds carrier quoting and can unlock better LTL rates through predictable rating.
