How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Mark your BOL with NMFC 69920 and Class 150 and select prepaid terms to match the entry for fresh or frozen fish livers.
- Use leak‑tight food‑grade drums with seals, or place rigid inner containers inside corrugated boxes with liners and absorbent; then secure to a pallet with stretch wrap and bands.
- Book temperature‑controlled LTL: 28–34°F for fresh and 0°F or below for frozen, and avoid weekend holds by scheduling early‑week pickups.
- Label cartons and drums “Perishable—Keep Refrigerated/Frozen” with upright arrows; avoid dry ice unless declared separately, and prevent brine or meltwater leaks.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate Class 150 rating prevents reclass fees and surprise rebills on seafood organ shipments.
- Prepaid term alignment reduces billing disputes and speeds carrier acceptance for perishable loads.
- Approved drums or inner containers in boxes minimize leakage claims and cleanup accessorials.
- Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and supports competitive refrigerated LTL pricing.
