How to Use This Classification

  • Identify the form of lead you’re shipping—ingots/bricks, sheet, pipe, or shot—and note NMFC 110000 with “Ungrouped Articles” so carriers know class is pending.
  • Build stout pallets for heavy pieces: hardwood deck boards, full perimeter banding, and corner/edge guards for sheet. Use lined drums with tight lids for shot to prevent leakage.
  • Document exact weight per handling unit and total shipment weight. Include pallet footprint, piece count, and photos so carriers can assign a fair class and avoid inspections.
  • Mark handling clearly: Heavy, Do Not Stack, and center-of-gravity arrows. Request proper equipment (no-liftgate or dock-only) to prevent failed pickup charges.

Business Value

  • Clear “class N/A” documentation under NMFC 110000 minimizes reclass disputes and inspection fees.
  • Dense-metal packaging best practices cut damage risk, lowering claim costs and improving on-time delivery.
  • Accurate weights and unitization enable sharper LTL quotes and reduce surprise accessorials like reweighs or special handling.
  • Consolidating lead into fewer, forklift-friendly pallets can hit better weight breaks and improve cost per pound.
