NMFC 58500 - Drugs & Personal Care Group | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Match the exact product and form (tablet, cream, liquid shampoo) to the correct NMFC item under this parent group; the group itself does not assign a class.
2. Detail packaging on the BOL: sealed cartons, inner bottles with screw caps, tamper-evident seals, and dividers for glass or fragile jars.
3. For liquids/gels, use leakproof inners, a poly-bag liner, and absorbent pads; mark This Side Up and keep each inner to manageable volumes for spill control.
4. Confirm the SKU is non-hazardous (no aerosols or high-alcohol formulas), add lot/expiration data if applicable, and request climate mitigation for heat-sensitive creams.

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

• Correct sub-item selection prevents reclass and rebill fees, stabilizing LTL quotes and keeping invoices predictable.
• Damage-resistant packing cuts leak claims and protects shelf-ready goods, reducing returns and out-of-stocks.
• Consolidate small SKUs into master cartons to trim handling units and minimize minimum charge impacts while keeping inner packs segregated by lot.
• Clear non-haz declarations and precise descriptions speed tendering, avoid hazmat surcharges, and reduce carrier refusal risks.
