NMFC 107820 - Jewelers' Refuse, High Value | Class N/A

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.

• Using NMFC 107820 reduces reclass fees and billing disputes for precious-metal shop residues.
• Sealed, traceable packaging minimizes shrink and claim exposure on extraordinary-value scrap.
• Declared value and proper descriptors help align liability coverage with commodity worth, protecting settlement returns.
• Consolidating sealed pails on one pallet lowers LTL minimum charges while preserving container integrity.
