How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the exact materials on the BOL (e.g., lappings, plate scrap, polishings, stonings) and reference NMFC 107820 to avoid misclassification.
  2. Double-bag fines and sweepings in tamper-evident liners, then place into sealed pails or lockable drums; label each container with net weight and seal number.
  3. Declare value and request signature-required service; add chain-of-custody notes and serialized seals to deter pilferage on high-value residues.
  4. Keep materials unmixed and dry; photograph sealed containers at tender and delivery to document custody for refiners and insurance.

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

Business Value
