NMFC 58980 - Fenugreek Seed Meal | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 58980 and Class 70 on the BOL, using the product name “Fenugreek Seed Meal” and the packaging type (bags, boxes, or drums) for clear rating.
2. Use sift‑proof packaging: poly‑lined bags or drum liners with tight closures to prevent powder leakage and contain the strong, maple‑like aroma.
3. Palletize securely: brick‑stack bagged product, add corner boards, stretch wrap to the pallet, and use a moisture barrier sheet on top to keep the meal dry.
4. Load away from odor‑sensitive freight (tea, cocoa, fragrances) and request dry service; block and brace drums or cartons to prevent shifting during LTL handling.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and billing—no density calculation, fewer reclass disputes, and faster tenders.
• Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges or paperwork, improving transit flexibility.
• Packaging flexibility (bags, boxes, drums) enables consolidation and cube optimization, reducing LTL cost per pound.
• Better odor and sift control lowers claim risk and product loss, protecting margin and vendor performance metrics.
