How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- On the BOL, list: Beans, green, string, lima or wax, fresh — prepaid — in boxes or crates; NMFC 77620; Class 92.5.
- 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.
- Book refrigerated LTL service; request cool chain handling, mark Do Not Freeze, and target weekday pickups to prevent weekend dwell time.
- 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.
