NMFC 91780 - Gutta-Percha in Boxes | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List “Gutta-percha, in boxes — NMFC 91780, Class 85” on the BOL and select Boxes as the packaging to prevent density-based reclass.
2. Protect from heat and sun to avoid softening; in hot weather, add insulated liners and target morning pickups to reduce trailer temperatures.
3. Stabilize the contents: use inner poly bags/dividers for cones or sheets, crush-rated cartons, and palletize with corner boards and stretch wrap.
4. Keep dry and clean: line cartons to prevent sticking or staining, label Keep Dry, and avoid stacking beneath heavy rigid freight.

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

• Fixed Class 85 delivers predictable LTL quotes and minimizes reclass disputes and surprise charges.
• Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat fees and streamlines tendering across carriers.
• Standard boxed packaging reduces handling risk and deformation, lowering claims and replacement costs.
• Simple, single NMFC listing speeds procurement and planning for dental and industrial supply chains.
