Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 195270.00 | Oilcloth Scrap, Trimmings or Waste, having value only for reclamation of rags, in packages | 60 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Package offcuts and trimmings in sturdy cartons or compressed, banded bales; line containers to prevent oil transfer and label “Oilcloth Scrap—For Rag Reclamation.”
- Keep scrap dry and clean; do not mix with solvent-soaked rags, adhesives, or metal hardware that can trigger reclass or disposal issues.
- List NMFC 195270, Class 60, non-hazardous on the BOL with accurate piece count and weight; add notes like “packaged oilcloth scrap, reclaim only.”
- Palletize multiple packages with no overhang and use stretch wrap or corner guards to avoid snagging coated fabric edges during LTL handling.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable Class 60 rating helps control LTL quotes for reclaim-bound textile waste streams.
- Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies carrier acceptance for recyclers and rag processors.
- Density-agnostic classification reduces reweigh/reclass risk, speeding billing and cutting unexpected fees.
- Clear packaging and labeling streamline dock workflows, enabling consolidation from shops like awning, upholstery, or tablecloth producers.
