NMFC 195230 - Moss Dust for Soil Use | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use sift‑proof multiwall bags, sturdy boxes, or lined drums to contain fines, then mark: “Moss Dust—For fertilizer, soil conditioning or mulching.”
2. Palletize with interlocked bag patterns on 40×48 pallets, add a cap sheet, and stretch‑wrap to the deck to prevent sifting and load shift.
3. Control moisture: keep product dry with poly liners or drum liners and request covered equipment; avoid rain exposure to maintain weight and integrity.
4. List NMFC 195230, Class 50, and exact packaging on the BOL to prevent reclass; note non‑hazardous status and verify pallet weights before tendering.

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

• Fixed Class 50 delivers low LTL rates for this low‑value byproduct, improving cost per pallet on agricultural and landscaping lanes.
• Non‑hazardous designation reduces paperwork and eliminates hazmat surcharges, speeding carrier acceptance and pickup scheduling.
• Standard bags/boxes/drums reduce leakage and damage claims, helping avoid reweigh/reclass fees and stabilizing freight budgets.
• Clear waste‑byproduct labeling supports sustainability goals by diverting moss gin refuse into fertilizer or mulch markets.
