NMFC 53350 - Copra in Boxes | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. On the bill of lading, list “Copra, dried, boxed — NMFC 53350, Class 60” to prevent reclass or rebill.
2. Use heavy-duty corrugated boxes with poly liners; palletize on 48×40 with no overhang, add corner boards, strap, and apply a breathable stretch-wrap pattern.
3. Control moisture and odors: place desiccants inside cartons, cap pallets with a moisture barrier sheet, and segregate from odor‑sensitive goods.
4. For LTL moves, provide exact piece count and palletized weight (e.g., 40 cartons per skid) to aid safe loading and reduce sift or crush damage.

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

• Class 60 places boxed copra in a favorable rating tier, helping reduce LTL charges versus higher classes.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat surcharges and handling delays.
• Standard box packaging streamlines cross-docking, lowering damage risk and protecting delivered quality.
• Accurate NMFC 53350 designation speeds quoting, cuts billing disputes, and helps keep cash flow predictable.
