NMFC 60280 for Dyestuffs (NOI) — Class 100

Note 60281: NOTE-Does not apply on materials regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation as hazardous and required to bear a Hazard Class or Hazard Division label or placard. For classes applicable to such hazardous materials, see provisions elsewhere in this Classification.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the SDS shows “not regulated by DOT” and note “Dyestuffs, NOI — NMFC 60280, Class 100” on the BOL; reference Note, item 60281 when applicable.
2. For powders, double-bag inside poly‑lined corrugated boxes to stop dye dust; for liquids, use tight‑head drums or sealed pails with absorbent and leakproof liners.
3. Palletize cartons, add a top sheet and full stretch wrap to prevent staining nearby freight; segregate from foodstuffs and keep dry.
4. Mark cartons as non-hazardous colorants and confirm Class 100 in your TMS to avoid reclass or hazmat fees; use corner boards to protect packaging edges.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting—no density math—speeding rate comparisons and tenders.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and eliminates hazmat surcharges and paperwork.
• Robust packaging prevents leaks and staining, reducing claims, OS&D time, and cleanup costs.
• Clear NMFC labeling reduces reclass/rebill risk, improving margins and on-time performance.
