NMFC 98900 - Clippings or Scraps, NOI | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Bag small pieces and place bags inside sturdy cartons to contain loose fibers or leather bits, then seal each package to prevent loss in transit.
2. Use double‑wall boxes for dense or rigid leather offcuts; sharp corners can burst light corrugate during LTL handling.
3. Palletize packages tightly and stretch‑wrap with a top sheet to stop shedding. Band the load if cartons are soft or irregular.
4. Mark the BOL: “NMFC 98900, Clippings or Scraps, NOI, Class 100,” and include piece count and actual weight for fast, accurate quotes.

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

• Fixed Class 100 means predictable rating with no density dispute, reducing reclass fees and invoice surprises.
• Simple “in packages” prep lowers packing labor while keeping scrap contained and claim‑resistant.
• Clear scrap designation streamlines moves to recyclers, tanneries, or reprocessors, improving turnaround and recovery value.
• Consistent NMFC usage strengthens compliance documentation and speeds carrier acceptance across multi-origin consolidation.
