NMFC 68100 - Fertilizer-Only Waste Materials | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose sturdy packaging for solids—multiwall bags, fiber drums, or lined cartons. For fine meals or dry sludge, add inner liners to control dust and odor.
2. Palletize tight with interlocked stacks, full stretch-wrap, and top sheets. Add edge guards and banding so horn or hoof fragments can’t puncture nearby freight.
3. Mark clearly: list “NMFC 68100, Class 50” on the BOL, attach an SDS if available, and apply required hazardous labels. Segregate away from food and pharma.
4. Manage moisture and leakage. Keep tung oil cake/meal dry to reduce caking or self-heating; place absorbent pads or trays under pallets if residue is possible.

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

• Lower LTL spend with a flat Class 50 suited to dense, packaged residues like felt scrap, horn waste, and dry sludge.
• One NMFC for varied fertilizer-only materials simplifies quoting and billing, cutting reclass disputes and accessorial surprises.
• Compliant hazard marking and segregation prevent regulatory holds and fines, protecting transit times and delivery promises.
• Clean, odor-controlled packaging reduces handling refusals and OS&D claims, improving carrier acceptance and long-term rates.
