NMFC 64370 - Chestnut or Quebracho Extracts | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Match packaging to form: dry extracts in five‑ply bags inside sturdy boxes or bales; liquids in tight‑head lined drums. Palletize, shrink‑wrap, and add orientation and “Do Not Stack” labels for bag‑in‑box.
2. Document accurately: list NMFC 64370, Class 65, packaging type (e.g., dry in boxes or liquid in drums) on the BOL. Attach the SDS and complete hazmat declarations per carrier rules.
3. Control leaks and moisture: line boxes for dry tannins to prevent humidity clumping, and use absorbent pads and drum rings for liquids. Request spill pallets or trays when required by site policy.
4. Book hazmat‑authorized carriers only. Note special handling such as fragile bagged product or non‑stack instructions, and confirm accessorials for drums (liftgate, residential, or appointment).

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