NMFC 110820 - Leatherboard Scrap Declared Value | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State the released or declared value in writing on the BOL (e.g., “Released value agreed per NMFC Note 110802”) to ensure the correct liability and class are applied.
2. Package loose scrap in heavy poly-lined cartons or sealed bags inside boxes, then palletize and stretch-wrap to contain fibers and fragments during LTL handling.
3. Mark each package “Leatherboard Scrap” and include NMFC 110820 and Note 110802 on labels and paperwork to avoid reclass or inspection delays.
4. Build stable pallets with uniform cartons, use corner boards, and top sheets; keep center of gravity low and request no double-stacking if packaging is crush-prone.

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

• Controlled liability via declared/released value can align cost with risk and help secure more predictable freight rates.
• Non-hazardous classification expands carrier options and shortens transit planning, reducing lead times for recycle or reclaim programs.
• Clean, sealed packaging prevents spill clean-up fees and damage claims, protecting margins on low-value scrap returns.
• Accurate NMFC referencing (110820 + Note 110802) minimizes re-bills and administrative time from carrier reclassification.
