How to Use This Classification

  • Start with Note, item 23810: match your Bill of Lading description to the note (state Carbon Group, form such as powder, granular, or pelletized, and your chosen packaging).
  • Use dust-controlling packaging to prevent sifting and cleanup fees—poly‑lined bags, sealed fiber drums, or valve sacks on sturdy pallets with full stretch-wrap.
  • Declare counts and weights clearly per package and per pallet; include form and packaging details so carriers can rate from the note without inspection delays.
  • Add an SDS or product sheet when quoting to quickly confirm non-hazardous status and avoid hazmat misclassification; label pallets “Carbon Media – Non-Hazardous.”

Business Value

  • Note-based classification consistency reduces reclasses, inspections, and surprise rate adjustments across carriers.
  • Dust-tight, palletized packing cuts spill cleanups and OS&D claims, protecting margins and customer relationships.
  • Clear non-hazardous identification prevents hazmat surcharges and shortens carrier approval cycles for faster tendering.
  • Standardized descriptions tied to Note 23810 streamline quoting and auditing, improving freight bill accuracy and budgeting.
