Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
77620.00 Beans, green, string, lima or wax, prepaid, in boxes, crates or drums, or in baskets with slatted or solid covers 92.5

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. On the BOL, list: Beans, green, string, lima or wax, fresh — prepaid — in boxes or crates; NMFC 77620; Class 92.5.
  2. Use rigid produce cartons or plastic/wooden crates with solid or slatted covers; keep vents aligned for airflow and avoid free water in the pack.
  3. Book refrigerated LTL service; request cool chain handling, mark Do Not Freeze, and target weekday pickups to prevent weekend dwell time.
  4. Palletize on 48x40 with column-stacking, corner boards, and a breathable wrap pattern; cap sheets help prevent top-layer bruising.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 92.5 eliminates density checks, reducing reclass fees and quote volatility.
  • Standardized packaging in boxes or crates speeds tendering and improves carrier acceptance for fresh produce.
  • Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges.
  • Clean, prepaid documentation with NMFC 77620 cuts billing disputes, shortens transit time, and lowers OS&D risk.
