NMFC 88810 - Glue Residuum Refuse Fertilizer | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State on the BOL: “Glue residuum refuse, fertilizer value only — NMFC 88810, Class 50, non-hazardous,” to prevent mix-ups with liquid adhesives or chemicals.
2. Use robust packaging such as poly-woven bags, fiber drums, or lined cartons; seal seams to contain fines or damp residue and add absorbent liners if moisture is present.
3. Palletize tightly with stretch wrap and a top sheet to limit odor and dusting; mark pallets “Not for feed use” to meet fertilizer-only intent.
4. Verify destination fertilizer regulations and provide product info or SDS confirming non-hazardous status; quote and ship as packages only, not bulk, to keep the classification valid.

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

• Class 50 provides low LTL base rates and a predictable price point since no density calculation is required.
• Non-hazardous designation reduces accessorials and expands carrier options, improving routing flexibility and transit selection.
• Accurate NMFC 88810 labeling minimizes reclass charges, audits, and disputes, cutting administrative and rebill costs.
• Package-only eligibility lowers spill risk and claim exposure when properly contained, improving total freight performance and budget reliability.
