How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Mark your BOL with NMFC 69920 and Class 150 and select prepaid terms to match the entry for fresh or frozen fish livers.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
