NMFC 195300 - Photo Silver Wastes | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use rigid double-wall boxes with a heavy poly liner or sealed inner bags to contain fines and residue; tape seams and palletize with corner boards.
2. Write the BOL commodity as "Photo Silver Wastes, non-hazardous, for recycling, NMFC 195300" and include source details (e.g., fixer cartridges, print trim) plus an estimated silver content.
3. Keep items dry and drained; add absorbent pads if any components might weep to prevent leaks and carrier inspection delays.
4. Record true weights and dimensions for each boxed pallet; request liftgate for studio or lab pickups and select LTL carriers familiar with recycling freight.

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

• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and special handling surcharges.
• Explicit NMFC 195300 citation reduces reclass risk and helps secure accurate LTL quotes.
• Boxed, palletized loads stack cleanly, improving cube utilization and lowering cost per pound.
• Clear recycling intent and documentation speed acceptance at refiners and can accelerate rebate payments.
