How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
