NMFC 65200 - Eggs, Nest in Boxes or Drums | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity as “nest eggs” on the BOL with NMFC 65200, Class 70 to prevent confusion with edible eggs or reefer requirements.
2. Use sturdy corrugated boxes with dividers or foam trays; for bulk, choose poly‑lined fiber drums. Fill voids to stop rattling and cap drums securely.
3. Palletize with no overhang, then strap and wrap. Keep heavy farm hardware off the top layer to avoid crush damage to molded or ceramic pieces.
4. Note non‑hazardous, non‑perishable status. Standard LTL service is sufficient—no temperature control or hazmat paperwork needed.

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

• Class 70 delivers predictable rating, simplifying budgeting for poultry supply distributors and co‑ops.
• Clear labeling and proper inner packs reduce reclass fees and damage claims, protecting margin on multi‑stop LTL runs.
• Non‑hazardous dry freight opens more carrier options and avoids food‑grade or reefer surcharges.
• Boxes or drums can consolidate with other farm equipment SKUs, improving pallet cube and lowering cost per unit shipped.
