NMFC 69970 - Fish Scrap (Green), NOI | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use watertight, leakproof packaging: lined 55-gal drums, sealed IBC totes, or heavy poly-lined bins. Band to pallets and add absorbent pads to capture seepage.
2. State the description clearly on the BOL: “Fish Scrap, NOI, green,” note Non-hazardous, and reference NMFC 69970. Add remarks like Leakproof Packaging and Do Not Stack if applicable.
3. Plan fast transit and avoid weekend dwell. In warm weather, consider chilled service or gel packs to curb odor and spoilage risk for wet by-product.
4. Separate from odor-sensitive freight such as paper or textiles. Request floor protection, carry spill kits, and notify the carrier of possible residue at pickup.

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

• Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat fees and simplifies carrier acceptance for by-product loads.
• Single NOI entry streamlines rating and reduces reclass disputes, helping prevent surprise invoices and inspection charges.
• Proper leakproof packaging cuts spill cleanup costs, minimizes claims, and keeps deliveries on schedule.
• Using high-cube totes or efficiently packed drums improves handling and can lower LTL rates per pound.
