How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Mark the BOL with NMFC 194260 and Class 70, and describe as “broken composition billiard/bowling balls, boxed.”
- Use heavy-duty double‑wall corrugated boxes; line with a poly bag to capture resin dust and chips, and pad with fiberboard to prevent punctures.
- Distribute fragments so weight is even; keep each box to safe manual-handling limits (often 50–60 lb) and secure multiple boxes to a pallet.
- Remove obvious contaminants (e.g., inserts or hardware) and list piece count and total weight to speed cross‑dock handling and receiving at recyclers.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 70—no density calculations, fewer reclass surprises, and faster quotes.
- Non-hazardous status reduces carrier restrictions and avoids hazmat fees, streamlining LTL tendering.
- Boxed scrap minimizes spill/cleanup claims and accessorials versus loose material, lowering total landed cost.
- Clear NMFC alignment under Waste Materials supports recycling programs and sustainability reporting without compliance friction.
