NMFC 198200 - Wood Flour in Bags | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print NMFC 198200 and Class 70 on the BOL to prevent reclass and speed up rating.
2. Confirm the product matches the listing: pulverized wood or woodpulp packed in bags, not chips or pellets.
3. Palletize multiwall or woven poly bags tightly (e.g., 40×48 pallet, 40 bags × 50 lb), add corner boards, stretch wrap, and a top sheet to block moisture.
4. Request dry van service, label fragile stacks if needed, avoid overhang that can tear bags, and keep pallets clean to prevent dust leaks.

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

• Fixed Class 70 eliminates density calculations, delivering faster quotes and fewer inspection disputes.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and extra paperwork, lowering total LTL cost.
• Clear item match (bagged wood flour/woodpulp) reduces reclassification risk and unexpected re-rate fees.
• Moisture-safe unitization cuts claims and keeps product flow-ready for compounding, fillers, or composites production.
