How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 67920 and Class 50 on the BOL, and note the package type (cloth or five-ply paper bags, boxes, or drums) plus grade/mesh for receiver clarity.
- For bagged feldspar, palletize tightly with slip sheets, corner boards, and stretch wrap; keep bags inside pallet edges to prevent punctures and product loss.
- For boxes or drums, band and brace to the pallet, mark Keep Dry, and avoid double-stacking unless packaging is certified for it.
- Plan accessorials for delivery points like tile studios or ceramic shops—request liftgate or call-ahead to prevent redelivery fees and delays.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 50 helps secure competitive LTL rates and predictable budgeting compared with higher-class mineral shipments.
- Non-hazardous status cuts compliance overhead—no hazmat paperwork or surcharges, speeding tender and pickup.
- Exact item match (Feldspar, NMFC 67920) reduces reclass disputes, inspections, and surprise rebills from carriers.
- Multiple approved packages—bags, boxes, or drums—enable sourcing flexibility and minimize repack labor without changing the class.
