| 110660.00 | Leather, ground, in bags, bales, boxes or drums | 70 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use tight-sealed packaging—corrugated boxes, multiwall bags, or fiber/plastic drums—to keep fines contained and moisture out.
- Palletize securely: line boxes with poly, band, stretch-wrap, and top-sheet; example: 50 lb bags inside a gaylord on a 48x40 pallet.
- Label and document clearly: NMFC 110660, Class 70, description “Leather, ground” so carriers rate correctly and avoid reclass charges.
- Book dry service and avoid co-loading with strong-odor freight; leather fines can pick up scents or oils during transit.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 70 with a single item rating—no density calculations—delivers predictable LTL quotes across lanes.
- Non-hazardous designation speeds tendering and reduces compliance steps versus regulated commodities.
- Appropriate boxes or drums minimize leakage and cleanup claims, lowering damage ratios and surcharge exposure.
- Accurate NMFC identification curbs unexpected reclass fees and keeps recurring shipments budget-stable.
