NMFC 59260 - Carrageen (Irish Moss) | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Enter NMFC 59260, Class 85 on the BOL; this item is fixed-class and not density rated.
2. Pack carrageen in poly-lined, sealed boxes to keep out moisture; add lot numbers and net weight for GMP traceability.
3. Palletize 40x48 with no overhang, corner boards, and stretch wrap with a top sheet; cap stack height around 48 inches to avoid crush.
4. Keep away from strong-odor freight (spices, fragrances, solvents) to prevent absorption; request dry van service.

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

• Predictable LTL pricing at Class 85 reduces reclass charges and surprise invoices.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and simplifies carrier selection.
• Moisture- and odor-protective boxing cuts damage claims and keeps product compliant.
• Clear labeling and batch traceability speed pharma/personal care receiving and audits.
