NMFC Description Class
58700.00 Contraceptive Sponges, cellular, expanded or foam plastic, impregnated with spermicide, in boxes 110

How to Determine Your Class

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.

Business Value

  • 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.
