NMFC 59460 - Witch Hazel Extract | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the product clearly on the BOL: “Witch Hazel Extract, non-hazardous liquid astringent,” and include alcohol percentage if present (e.g., ~14% ethanol) plus packaging type (glass or plastic bottles, cases, or drums).
2. Use leak-resistant packaging: tight caps with seals, shrink bands, a poly-bag liner, and absorbent pads inside cases; add partitions or foam cells for glass bottles to prevent chipping.
3. Palletize upright with orientation arrows and “Liquids—This Side Up” labels; keep product within pallet footprint, add corner boards, and stretch-wrap with a top sheet to guard against moisture.
4. Protect quality in transit: avoid freezing or high heat, separate from strong-odor freight, and request liftgate or appointment delivery for clinics, spas, and pharmacies when needed.

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

• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids HAZMAT surcharges, improving lane coverage and lowering total landed cost.
• Accurate NMFC identification and clear BOL descriptions reduce reclass and inspection fees, cutting the risk of costly rebills.
• Right-size case packs and tight pallet cubes minimize damage and leakage claims while controlling cubic charges on LTL.
• Packaging tuned for liquids preserves retail-ready presentation, protecting brand reputation with fewer returns and credits.
