NMFC 195190 - Magnesium Carbonate Spent | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Specify on the BOL: “NMFC 195190, Magnesium Carbonate, spent, Class 60, non-hazardous,” and list packaging (boxes or drums) to prevent reclass billing.
2. Use sealed liners inside sturdy boxes or closed-head drums to control dust and moisture; add absorbent pads if residual dampness is possible.
3. Palletize tightly: keep boxes/drums upright, band or shrink-wrap, and avoid overhang to reduce handling damage and spill clean-up charges.
4. Confirm the material is truly spent with value only for reconditioning; attach SDS and any recycler acceptance letters to streamline carrier acceptance.

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

• Fixed Class 60 simplifies rating and tenders, giving more predictable LTL costs than density-based items.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and special handling, lowering total landed cost for waste returns.
• Accurate labeling and packaging reduce reclass and cleanup charges, protecting margins on reverse logistics.
• Supports circular economy programs by moving reclaimable sorbent/filtration fines back to reconditioners efficiently.
