NMFC 58880 - Karaya Gum Solution in Glass | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 58880, Class 70 on the BOL and mark the freight as non-hazardous. Add “Glass” and “This Side Up” labels to reduce mishandling.
2. Pack glass containers in strong corrugated boxes with cell dividers, corner protection, and ample cushioning. Line each inner pack with a sealed poly bag and absorbent pads to contain leaks.
3. Unitize cartons on a flush wooden pallet with corner boards and stretch wrap; strap if possible. Avoid overhang and request no-top-stack or cap-load when shipping with heavier freight.
4. For medical supply chains (e.g., ostomy and skin barrier use), include lot and expiration details on paperwork, and schedule delivery appointments or liftgate service for clinics.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating enables predictable LTL quotes and fewer reclass fees, improving budget accuracy for recurring medical shipments.
• Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat surcharges and complex compliance steps, speeding up tendering and transit.
• Defined “glass in boxes” packaging expectations reduce damage risk and OS&D claims, lowering total landed cost.
• Consistent classification supports reliable replenishment for healthcare providers, protecting product integrity and patient supply continuity.
