How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the commodity as Celery Roots, NMFC 77740, Class 92.5 on the BOL and choose boxes or crates with slatted or solid covers to match the tariff wording.
  2. Use vented produce boxes or sturdy crates, line with food-grade pads, and brace each layer. Example: 40 lb cartons, 60 per 48x40 pallet with top caps.
  3. Book refrigerated LTL around 32–36°F with high humidity, avoid ethylene producers, and add Do Not Top Load labels to limit bruising.
  4. Strap and wrap with minimal stretch to keep airflow, keep pallet height under 72 inches for LTL, and request inside delivery only when cold chain is available.

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

Business Value

  • A fixed Class 92.5 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass fees for heavy crates or dense packs.
  • Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and broadens carrier options in produce lanes.
  • Standard boxes or crates fit common 48x40 pallets, improving cube and lowering damage claims.
  • Clear NMFC mapping speeds claims resolution and helps lock in seasonal contract rates.
