NMFC 110410 - Scrap, NOI, in Packages | Class 55

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use tight, leak-resistant packaging such as lined gaylords, sealed pails, or heavy cartons secured to pallets; band or stretch-wrap to contain fines and sharp edges.
2. Write on the BOL: “NMFC 110410 – Lead Scrap, NOI, in Packages, Class 55 (Non-Hazardous)”; include package count, pallet count, and accurate total weight.
3. Keep material clean and single-metal: no batteries, liquids, dirt, or mixed alloys. Bag small chips or turnings to prevent loss and reclass.
4. Plan for heavy loads: request a forklift or liftgate, limit stack height to protect pallets, and note any 3,000+ lb pallets so terminals can stage equipment.

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

• Fixed Class 55 rating delivers predictable LTL costs and lowers the risk of reclass charges.
• Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat fees and opens more carrier options across lanes.
• Packaged requirement reduces spill and contamination claims, cutting dwell time and cleanup exposure.
• Clear, NMFC-aligned descriptions speed quotes, invoicing, and recycler settlement cycles.
