NMFC 195170 - Worn-Out Loom Harness & Twine | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Write a precise BOL line: “Loom harness, twine or yarn, worn-out—salvage only, NMFC 195170, Class 65, in packages.”
2. 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.
3. Keep the salvage clean and dry: line boxes, avoid oily or chemical contamination, and segregate from usable textiles to preserve reconditioning value.
4. 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.

• 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.
