Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
58650.00 Citrates of Magnesia Solution, in inner containers in boxes or drums 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the full name “Citrates of Magnesia Solution” on the BOL with NMFC 58650 and Class 65, and include lot and expiration for healthcare traceability.
  2. Place inner containers in strong corrugated boxes with dividers or foam, add absorbent liners, and mark This Side Up; protect from freezing during winter lanes.
  3. Palletize with no overhang, use cornerboards and stretch wrap, and limit top-load on glass; if shipped in drums, band to skids and shield the bungs.
  4. Quote at fixed Class 65—no density needed; verify accurate weights and carton counts, declare non-hazardous, and schedule delivery appointments for clinics or pharmacies.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 65 delivers predictable rating and reduces costly reclass disputes.
  • Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and expands carrier options.
  • Boxed inner containers lower leakage and breakage risk, cutting OS&D claims.
  • Clear NMFC mapping speeds TMS quoting and improves replenishment to hospitals, retailers, and distributors.
