Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
91780.00 Gutta-percha, in boxes 85

How to Determine Your Class

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.

Business Value

  • 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.
