How to Use This Classification
- Use this group to pinpoint the correct ink-related NMFC item, then match it to your exact product type and packaging (e.g., water‑based ink in cans, plastic cartridges in cartons).
- Spell out composition and format on the BOL: “water‑based printing ink, plastic cartridges, nonhazardous.” Include an SDS when available to speed carrier review.
- Package for leak resistance: seal lids, line cartons with poly bags, add absorbent pads, and keep containers upright. Band and shrink‑wrap pallets; apply orientation arrows.
- Capture exact counts, total weight, and pallet dimensions for quoting. Since no fixed class is shown here, carriers may request the specific sub‑item—have photos and pack details ready.
Business Value
- Faster quoting and booking by using the group as a roadmap to the precise ink sub‑item, cutting delays and back‑and‑forth with carriers.
- Lower risk of reclass and rebills through clear descriptions and consistent, leak‑resistant packaging tailored to inks and related supplies.
- Avoid unnecessary hazmat fees where applicable, as this entry is nonhazardous, improving landed cost and simplifying carrier selection.
- Fewer damage claims and service interruptions by standardizing pack‑outs (e.g., pails on 48x40 pallets, upright only) and labeling for handling.
