NMFC 110800 - Leather Scrap, NOI | Class N/A

Note 110802: NOTE-The value declared in writing by the shipper, or agreed upon in writing as the released value of the property, as the case may be, must be entered on the shipping order and bill of lading as follows: "The agreed or declared value of the property is hereby specifically stated by the shipper to be not exceeding ______ cents per pound." (Classes herein based on released value have been authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission in Released Rates Order MC No. 1 of January 16, 1936, as amended October 20, 1948, August 9, 1966, October 7, 1966, October 12, 1970 and March 31, 1980.)

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Contain loose pieces in sealed, tear‑resistant sacks or lined cartons, then secure to pallets with no overhang; top-sheet and stretch‑wrap to stop shedding during transit.
2. Sort by tannage (chrome vs. vegetable) or grade and label each package: “Leather Scrap — NMFC 110800, Note 110804.” Clear IDs reduce reclass and dispute risk.
3. Remove or shield hardware like rivets, zippers, and snaps found in cutoffs; add corner protection so sharp edges don’t puncture neighboring freight.
4. This item isn’t density‑rated, so focus on containment and compliance with Note 110804. Note “dry scrap” on the BOL and add liners or desiccants if moisture is a concern.

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

• Non‑hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and simplifies carrier selection, keeping LTL costs predictable.
• Tight packaging prevents spill and sweep charges, supporting better base rates and fewer accessorials.
• Explicit NMFC 110800 and Note 110804 references on labels and BOL cut reclassifications and chargebacks.
• Pre‑sorting scrap by tannage or grade improves buyer acceptance and can increase recovery value in recycling streams.
