NMFC 60300 - Dyewoods, Fustic & Logwood | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify the commodity on the BOL as "Dyewoods, NOI, chips or ground - fustic/logwood" and list NMFC 60300 at Class 70 for clean rating.
2. Match packaging to form: use lined multi-wall bags or fiber drums for ground product; band logs/sticks to skids or crate ends to prevent puncture.
3. Palletize tightly and contain dust: stretch-wrap bag stacks, add a top sheet, and mark drums "This Side Up" to reduce staining of nearby freight.
4. Control moisture: keep loads dry, add plastic sheeting or absorbent pads under bundles, and avoid loading next to white goods susceptible to dye transfer.

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

• Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 70 eliminates density disputes and cuts reclass fees.
• Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat charges and widens carrier options for LTL lanes.
• Multiple allowed forms (bags, bales, boxes, drums, logs) enable consolidation and use of readily available packing materials.
• Cleaner deliveries and fewer claims: containment against dye bleed reduces cleanup charges, delays, and total landed cost.
