How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Mark the BOL as Prepaid and list NMFC 77780, Class 92.5, plus packaging type and count, e.g., “48 ventilated crates, NMFC 77780, Class 92.5, Prepaid.”
  2. Use sturdy food-grade boxes or crates with slatted or solid lids; line with breathable material and avoid overfilling to keep husks intact and reduce bruising.
  3. Palletize on 40x48 GMA pallets; cross-stack for airflow and band securely. Wrap lower tiers for stability but leave top vents open to prevent heat buildup.
  4. Schedule cool-chain friendly moves. Request reefer LTL during hot weather and avoid co-loading with odor-heavy freight to preserve taste and freshness.

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 calculations, improving quote speed and reducing billing disputes.
  • Approved prepaid status and recognized packaging minimize reclass fees and carrier inspection delays.
  • Standardized boxes/crates speed dock handling and lower damage claims, protecting produce margins.
  • Better airflow and optional temperature control reduce spoilage, supporting longer shelf life and fewer returns.
