110620.00 Blue Chrome Splits, partially tanned and having moisture content not less than 30 percent, in packages 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Write the BOL exactly: “Blue chrome splits, partially tanned, moisture ≥30%, in packages — NMFC 110620, Class 70.”
  2. Use moisture-resistant packaging: poly-lined cartons or sealed bags inside sturdy boxes; add pallet liners to prevent seepage and keep away from paper or food items.
  3. Palletize on 40×48 GMA pallets with banding and stretch wrap; add corner boards and limit stack height to about 48 inches to avoid compression and weeping.
  4. Choose faster LTL service in hot/humid seasons and request trailers free of high-heat exposure to reduce odor, staining, and product degradation.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 (no density rating) streamlines quoting and keeps LTL costs predictable for tanneries, footwear, and upholstery supply chains.
  • Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and special paperwork, enabling standard network routing and broader carrier options.
  • Precise commodity naming and moisture-safe packaging cut reclass, OS&D claims, and accessorials tied to leaks or contamination.
  • Consistent “packages” presentation supports consolidation with other leather goods, improving cube use and reducing per‑unit freight spend.
