NMFC 59250 - Agar-Agar in Bags, Bales, Boxes | Class 200

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote at fixed Class 200—no density needed. List NMFC 59250 on the BOL and select the correct packaging (boxes, bags, bales, or drums).
2. Protect from moisture: use bag-in-box liners, seal inner poly, add desiccants, and apply top sheets before stretch-wrapping pallets.
3. Keep away from odor-heavy freight (perfumes, cleaners) since agar-agar can absorb smells. Request segregation or use pallet covers as needed.
4. Palletize with even tiers and corner boards. Avoid overstacking brittle boxes and mark Keep Dry/Do Not Double Stack where appropriate.

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

• Predictable costs from a fixed Class 200 reduce reclass fees and billing disputes.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges.
• Clear NMFC 59250 reference speeds audits and vendor compliance for pharma and personal care supply chains.
• Moisture-focused packaging lowers damage claims, protecting margins and delivery timelines.
