NMFC 136100 - Antimony Scrap in Packages | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package antimony scrap in rigid boxes or crates, banded to pallets with steel strapping. Line containers to capture fines and blunt sharp edges, then stretch-wrap to prevent loss in transit.
2. List the exact description on the BOL: "Scrap, antimony metal, in packages" with NMFC 136100, Class 60. Include package count, pallet quantity, and net weight, and mark as non-hazardous.
3. Keep loads dense with a low center of gravity. Use edge protectors, avoid pallet overhang, cap stack height to carrier guidelines, and add blocking/bracing for intermodal moves.
4. Separate from other scrap grades and keep dry, clean, and free of dirt, wood, or plastic to protect melt value and avoid delays or rejections at receivers.

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

• Fixed Class 60 yields predictable LTL rating and often lower metal-scrap freight costs versus higher classes.
• Non-hazardous status removes hazmat paperwork and fees, simplifying scheduling and expanding carrier options.
• Correct NMFC 136100 on paperwork speeds quoting, reduces reclass disputes, and minimizes inspection-driven delays.
• Tight, banded packaging limits loss of fines and dock cleanup charges, lowering claim risk and preserving scrap value for smelters and refiners.
