How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 58730 on the BOL and describe the freight as “Cough Drops or Throat Lozenges, in boxes” to prevent reclass and billing disputes.
  2. Palletize sealed cartons with no overhang; add corner boards and tight stretch wrap, plus a top sheet to guard against moisture and odor transfer.
  3. Avoid temperature spikes and humidity that can cause sticking or clumping; request dry, clean trailers and note “Keep Dry” on labels.
  4. 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.
