How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Write a precise BOL line: “Loom harness, twine or yarn, worn-out—salvage only, NMFC 195170, Class 65, in packages.”
- Use sturdy packages: double-wall cartons or gaylord boxes on pallets; bag loose fibers, and cap sharp metal ends on harness parts to prevent punctures.
- Keep the salvage clean and dry: line boxes, avoid oily or chemical contamination, and segregate from usable textiles to preserve reconditioning value.
- Declare actual salvage value for liability, note the reconditioning destination, and select LTL carriers experienced with recycling and waste-material freight.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 65 simplifies quoting and prevents reclass disputes, reducing unexpected charges for variable-density waste loads.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and eliminates hazmat fees, lowering total landed cost.
- Clear “salvage only” designation streamlines acceptance and claims handling for worn-out textile machinery parts and fibers.
- Turning worn-out harnesses and twine into recoverable material supports sustainability goals and can generate offsetting salvage revenue.
