How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 59365 and Class 65 on the BOL, and reference Note item 59367 if your packaging differs from standard boxes or includes special closures.
- Use leak-resistant plastic dispensing bottles with sealed caps or tamper bands, then case-pack with dividers or molded trays; line cartons with poly bags to contain any seepage.
- Palletize case goods on 48x40 pallets with tight stretch wrap and corner boards; keep cases upright, avoid overhang, and label This Side Up and Liquid to reduce handling damage.
- Plan for climate exposure: water-based solutions can expand in freezing temps and soften in heat; request Protect from Freezing or avoid hot trailers when seasonal risks apply.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable rating: fixed Class 65 with no density calculation simplifies quoting and prevents unexpected reclass bills.
- Nonhazardous status avoids hazmat fees and special documentation, cutting accessorial costs and transit delays.
- Standard boxed packaging aligns with LTL cross-dock handling, lowering leakage claims and improving on-time delivery to pharmacies and retail DCs.
- Clear NMFC mapping accelerates rate shopping and carrier selection, supporting tighter margins on personal care replenishment runs.
