NMFC 58700 - Contraceptive Sponges | Class 110

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 58700 and Class 110 on the BOL, noting boxed contraceptive sponges impregnated with spermicide; density is not required for rating.
2. Use rigid corrugated boxes and add corner boards and stretch wrap to prevent crushing; mark cartons “Do Not Top-Load” if pallets will be stacked.
3. Palletize in stable, squared columns on 48x40 pallets; keep cartons within the pallet footprint and strap or wrap to avoid deformation in transit.
4. Include lot and expiration labels on master cartons for clinic and retail receiving; keep shipments dry and away from excessive heat during transport.

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

• Fixed Class 110 provides predictable LTL pricing and reduces reclass disputes and rebills.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges and paperwork.
• Boxed packaging with proper palletizing lowers damage risk on foam items, cutting claim costs and returns.
• Clear carton labeling (lot/expiry) accelerates inbound processing and strengthens recall traceability for healthcare buyers.
