Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
195190.00 Magnesium Carbonate, spent, having value only for reconditioning purposes, in boxes or drums 60

How to Determine Your Class

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.

Business Value

  • 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.
