How to Use This Classification

  • Start with NMFC 194200 as the index, then consult Note, item 194201 to determine whether your material qualifies as waste and which specific rules apply.
  • Describe the waste precisely on the BOL (e.g., plastic regrind, textile offcuts, OCC bales) and add: “NMFC 194200 – see Note, item 194201” for clarity.
  • Match packaging to the note’s guidance: secure bales with banding, line gaylords to contain fines, stretch-wrap pallets, and cap totes to prevent leakage.
  • If Note 194201 calls for density or unit specs, record dimensions and weight per handling unit and include photos to speed carrier approval.

Business Value

  • Prevents costly reclassifications by directing carriers to the correct waste rules at quoting and pickup.
  • Reduces accessorials from spills or cleanup by aligning packaging with the note’s containment expectations.
  • Faster, more accurate rate responses since operations can verify eligibility and handling from a single reference.
  • Improves compliance for mixed post-industrial or reclaimed materials across lanes without guessing a class.
