NMFC 55620 - Ice Cream, prepaid, in packages | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote at fixed Class 100. List packaging as “packages” and note prepaid terms on the BOL: “NMFC 55620 — Ice Cream, prepaid, in packages.”
2. Use rigid insulated cartons or coolers with sealed liners, gel packs or dry ice sized to transit time. Mark “Keep Frozen” and “Perishable” on each carton.
3. Book temperature-controlled LTL or reefer service and request tight pickup/delivery windows to avoid weekend holds and cross-dock delays.
4. Palletize with corner boards and stretch wrap, leaving some airflow. Avoid overhang and stack by case strength to minimize crush and thaw risk.

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

• Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 100—no density calculations or surprise reclasses.
• Faster quoting and tendering since the description cleanly maps to prepaid packaged ice cream.
• Lower spoilage and claim rates when cold-chain packaging and scheduling are followed, reducing total landed cost.
• Supports prepaid billing workflows for brands and DTC shippers, simplifying accounting and customer service.
