NMFC 58710 - Corn Silk, Dry | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote the commodity exactly as “Corn Silk, dry” within the Drugs/Medicines group. Because class is not set (N/A), request the carrier’s written class or exception rating before pickup.
2. Use moisture-barrier packaging: poly-lined kraft bags, sealed fiber drums with tamper-evident rings, or compressed bales in heavy poly. Double-bag if humidity risk is high.
3. Palletize for cube efficiency: 40x48 pallets, no overhang, corner boards, stretch wrap, and a top sheet labeled “Keep Dry.” Keep stacks light and stable for easy LTL handling.
4. Document clearly: include botanical name (Zea mays stigma), lot/COA, net weight per package, and note “Non-hazardous.” Share SDS/ingredient statement if required by the consignee.

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

• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies routing in LTL networks.
• Stackable drums or well-tied bags reduce damage and reclass exposure, preventing surprise adjustments.
• Accurate commodity naming and paperwork minimize inspections, speeding transit and delivery appointments.
• Moisture-controlled packing cuts spoilage and claims, stabilizing freight rates across nutraceutical lanes.
