NMFC Description Class
41800.00 Cellulose Acetate Film Sheets, reclaimed (Washed Used X-Ray and Photographic Film) 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Palletize boxed or baled film sheets with corner boards and crosswise strapping; shrink-wrap tightly to stop slick stacks from sliding in transit.
  2. Control moisture: line cartons with poly, add desiccant if humid, and request a dry van. Cellulose acetate can warp when exposed to moisture.
  3. Label clearly: “Reclaimed Washed Film — NMFC 41800, Class 70.” Keep separate from PET films or unwashed silver-bearing film to avoid reclass or recycler rejection.
  4. Provide simple docs: pallet counts and weights, non-hazardous statement, and destination recycler info. No density entry needed since rating is fixed at Class 70.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable LTL pricing with fixed Class 70, reducing reweigh/reclass fees and simplifying quotes.
  • Non-hazardous status speeds dock handling and avoids hazmat surcharges or special paperwork.
  • Cleaner, uniform pallets cut OS&D risk and help maintain salvage value for recycling programs.
  • Clear NMFC mapping (41800) streamlines TMS setup and accelerates tender-to-pickup cycle times.
