NMFC 195000 - Hop Kiln Sweepings | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Contain fines and dust: use heavy-duty corrugated boxes lined with poly to prevent sifting. If collected in bags, place those bags inside boxes or drums to match carrier expectations for Class 70 waste.
2. Control moisture to reduce odor and settling. For damp sweepings, line boxes, double-tape seams, and add absorbent pads to keep residue from escaping during transit.
3. Palletize tight and stable. Example: stack uniform boxes on a 48x40 pallet, add a slip sheet on top, then stretch-wrap and corner-board to stop sifting and improve stackability.
4. Document clearly on the BOL: “NMFC 195000 Hop Kiln Sweepings, non-hazardous, Class 70,” include total weight, box count, and pickup site details for receiving compliance.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 70—no density calculation and fewer reclass risks.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and specialized carrier restrictions, keeping costs lower.
• Boxed units cube efficiently, enabling economical LTL consolidation and backhauls from hop-growing regions post-harvest.
• Leak- and odor-resistant packaging reduces damage claims and cleanup accessorials, improving net freight spend.
