Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
194340.00 Beeswax Refuse, in bags, boxes or drums 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 194340 and “beeswax refuse” on the BOL, and specify packaging as boxes; note if bags or drums are part of the same pickup for accurate handling.
  2. Line boxes with heavy poly to prevent wax residue from seeping; double-wall cartons or gaylords help contain misshapen or crumbly wax scrap.
  3. Palletize snugly and shrink-wrap with corner protection; beeswax is dense for its volume, so distribute weight evenly to avoid crushed cartons.
  4. Plan around heat: beeswax softens in high temps. Choose covered trailers or faster service in summer to reduce deformation and mess.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable rating: Class 65 keeps pricing consistent for scrap wax returns to refiners or recyclers.
  • Non-haz status avoids hazmat fees and simplifies carrier selection, shortening quote and tender cycles.
  • Proper boxing and liners cut cleanup and claim risk, protecting adjacent freight and reducing rework costs.
  • Clear waste classification supports circular programs—turn plant scrap into revenue instead of disposal expense.
