How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use sealed primary containers (HDPE bottles or jars) with leakproof caps; bag and cushion inside sturdy double-wall boxes with absorbent liners to contain spills.
- Mark cartons Liquids - This Side Up and include NMFC 58810, Class 70 on the BOL; clear labeling helps prevent reclass fees and inspection delays.
- Protect from heat and freezing; aloe gels can thin or clump with temperature swings. Choose faster service or add insulated liners during extreme weather.
- If your formula is highly concentrated or blended with other actives, review the related NMFC note for item 58812 to confirm the correct listing.
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 expands carrier choices, reducing total landed cost.
- Proper NMFC 58810 identification and packaging reduce reclassification disputes, chargebacks, and service interruptions.
- Box-optimized shipments stack cleanly, lowering damage risk and claim costs while improving pallet cube utilization.
