NMFC 58840 - Animal Gall in Boxes | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack in leakproof inner HDPE bottles or jerricans, place in a strong corrugated box with liners and absorbent pads to control odor and contain any seepage.
2. Palletize boxes upright, add corner boards and stretch wrap, and mark This Side Up and Liquid Inside to discourage inverted handling during LTL moves.
3. Declare NMFC 58840, Class 70 on the BOL; include piece count and total weight, and attach an SDS or product spec sheet if required by the consignee.
4. Avoid temperature extremes per supplier guidance and choose minimal-transfer LTL service when shipping sensitive biological liquids to reduce agitation and leaks.

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

• Single Class 70 listing streamlines rating and quoting—no density breaks or complex sub-classes to manage.
• Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat surcharges and opens more carrier options, lowering landed cost.
• Boxed packouts cube efficiently on pallets, improving trailer utilization and reducing space-driven charges.
• Clear, consistent classification reduces reclass disputes and claims risk for processors, labs, and specialty suppliers.
