Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
195040.00 Hose, fabric and rubber combined, worn-out, unfit for further use as hose but having value other than for reclamation of raw materials, in packages 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Bundle drained hose coils tightly and band to pallets or load into sturdy boxes (gaylords). Remove or tape over metal couplings to prevent punctures.
  2. Write a precise BOL: “Hose, fabric-and-rubber combined, worn-out, unfit for use as hose, having value other than raw reclamation, NMFC 195040, Class 65, in packages.”
  3. Keep reuse-intended hose separate from rubber scrap intended for raw material recovery—mixing can trigger reclass and disputes.
  4. Aim for stable LTL units (e.g., 48x40 pallets under ~1,800 lb). Stretch-wrap to stop hose from rolling and add ‘This Side Up’ labels if stacked.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable LTL pricing at a fixed Class 65, avoiding density disputes and costly reclassifications.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and reduces accessorials tied to special handling.
  • Clear NMFC description streamlines quoting and claims, lowering administrative time and risk.
  • Segregating reuse-worthy hose preserves resale value versus scrap rates, improving recovery margins for recyclers and distributors.
