Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
70360.00 Flocks, rayon or synthetic fiber, NOI, in bags, bales or boxes, subject to Item 170 and having a density in pounds per cubic foot of:
70360.01 12 or less 100
70360.02 Over 12 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm density in lb/ft³ before tendering. If unknown, weigh the shipment and compute from package volume; higher density trends toward Class 70, lower toward Class 100.
  2. Choose sift-proof packaging. Use poly-lined boxes or multiwall bags and stretch-wrapped bales to prevent fiber leakage and keep dust contained during LTL handling.
  3. Treat as hazardous for combustible dust. Include an SDS, apply clear hazmat markings where required, and use antistatic liners or grounding to minimize static ignition risk.
  4. State the NMFC (70360) and description “Flocks, rayon or synthetic fiber, NOI” on the BOL, and note that classification follows Item 170 density rules.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate density class (70–100) avoids reclass fees and unexpected freight rate hikes.
  • Sift-proof, dust-tight packaging reduces cleanup charges, loss claims, and handling delays.
  • Hazmat-ready documentation and carrier selection minimize refusals, redelivery, and storage costs.
  • Clear NMFC and Item 170 references speed carrier inspections and reduce administrative disputes.
