NMFC 59480 - Wormseed, ground or powdered | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book using NMFC 59480, Class 85. This item is not density-based, so you can skip cube calculations for rating.
2. Use moisture and odor barriers: poly- or foil-lined liners inside boxes or drums, then fully tape-seal and add a desiccant pack to protect the botanical powder.
3. Palletize tightly: interlock boxed layers, add corner boards, stretch-wrap to the pallet, and top-sheet to keep the product dry and prevent sifting.
4. Label clearly: “Wormseed (Jerusalem Oak Seed), ground or powdered — NMFC 59480, Class 85, Non-Hazardous.” If shipping loose bags or drums, overbox for LTL to reduce puncture or odor transfer.

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

• Predictable costs: fixed Class 85 helps prevent reclass fees and speeds up quoting for herbal and medical supply chains.
• More carrier options: non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and expands available lanes.
• Quality preserved: odor and moisture control reduces contamination risks, claims, and product write-offs.
• Efficient consolidation: shipping in well-packed boxes or overboxed drums improves cube use and lowers per-unit freight rates.
