How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

Calculate density to set the class: weigh the pallet, measure the full palletized cube (L×W×H in feet), then lbs ÷ cubic feet = PCF to determine Class 50–400.
Choose permitted packaging for each product form: sift‑proof multiwall bags or lined boxes for flours and powders, drums for high-bulk items; Packages 510/1264/2165 are acceptable where specified.
Control moisture and odor: barrier liners and tight closures for onion/garlic; apply “Keep Dry” and avoid co-loading with odor-sensitive foods like cocoa or tea.
Confirm the right item note before booking: pea flour may fall under Item 77152, while other bean flours remain here; list contents clearly on the BOL to prevent reclass.

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

Business Value

Optimize freight spend with density-based classes: tighter cube or denser pack-out can move shipments toward lower classes and better LTL rates.
Reduce surprise reclass fees by matching packaging (bags, boxes, drums, or permitted packages) and labeling to NMFC wording.
Lower claim risk on powders and fibers by using sift-proof packaging and liners, minimizing leakage, odor transfer, and moisture damage.
Non-hazardous designation streamlines carrier acceptance and consolidations, improving scheduling and cut-off reliability for food processors and ingredient traders.
