Classification Details

NMFC Description Class

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack loose fibers in rigid corrugated boxes lined with poly to contain dust and strands; avoid over-compressing noils or frisons to prevent carton bulging.
  2. Palletize cartons with interlocking layers, corner boards, stretch-wrap, and two bands; mark each pallet “Silk Waste – NMFC 195760 – Class 100” for clear handling.
  3. Keep cartons dry and odor-free; avoid loading beside liquids, dyes, or scented goods that could contaminate natural silk waste during transit.
  4. List contents by type (noils, frisons, pierced cocoons, tussah filature waste) and count/weight per box; density entry isn’t required for this fixed class.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 removes density guesswork, cutting reclass risks and unexpected billing adjustments.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps avoid hazmat surcharges or special handling fees.
  • Boxed presentation stacks cleanly in LTL networks, improving cube use, transit stability, and claims performance.
  • Clear NMFC mapping (195760) streamlines rating, audits, and customer documentation for recyclers and fiber mills.
