How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use Class 70 for all quotes; density is not required. When booking here, choose Boxes as the packaging and note if contents are ground or whole.
  2. Protect against sifting and moisture: line corrugated boxes with a heavy poly bag (e.g., 4‑mil), seal the liner, and tape all seams for powdered product.
  3. Add handling notes like “Do not co-load with edible goods” to prevent food contamination risks commonly flagged with toxic botanicals.
  4. Print on the BOL: “Nux vomica beans (ground/whole), NMFC 58580, Class 70, non-hazardous,” and include piece count, gross weight, and inner-bag details.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 simplifies rating and stabilizes LTL costs, cutting reclass and inspection-related fees.
  • Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and opens access to broader carrier capacity and lanes.
  • Packaging in boxes aligns with standard LTL handling, reducing damage claims and accessorials tied to spills or sifting.
  • Clear, NMFC-accurate descriptions speed terminal processing and improve delivery reliability for labs and botanical processors.
