How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 58730 on the BOL and describe the freight as “Cough Drops or Throat Lozenges, in boxes” to prevent reclass and billing disputes.
- Palletize sealed cartons with no overhang; add corner boards and tight stretch wrap, plus a top sheet to guard against moisture and odor transfer.
- Avoid temperature spikes and humidity that can cause sticking or clumping; request dry, clean trailers and note “Keep Dry” on labels.
- Print lot and expiration dates on each case for pharmacy and retail compliance, speeding receiving and reducing chargebacks.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting and budgeting across LTL carriers, reducing surprises from density-based reclassifications.
- Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and typically avoids hazmat fees, enabling smoother tendering and transit.
- Boxed units palletize efficiently, lowering damage rates and claim costs while improving warehouse throughput.
- Clear identification and date coding support compliant distribution into healthcare and retail channels, cutting vendor compliance penalties.
