How to Use This Classification

  • Confirm the exact aluminum form (sheet, extrusion, casting, scrap) and match it to the correct item-specific NMFC rather than relying on this group header.
  • Package by geometry: band extrusions in tight bundles on wood pallets; crate thin sheets with edge protection and interleaving to prevent scuffing.
  • Stabilize loads with stretch-wrap and blocking; avoid metal-on-metal rub that causes finish damage or freight claims during LTL cross-dock moves.
  • Mark paperwork with alloy description and packaging method (e.g., “palletized bundles”) to help carriers price correctly when class is not defined.

Business Value

  • Reduces reclass risk by guiding shippers to the right aluminum article when this group shows no fixed class range.
  • Cuts accessorials and claim costs by recommending packaging that protects surfaces and prevents shifting.
  • Speeds quoting: clear non-hazardous status simplifies carrier acceptance and transit planning.
  • Improves rate consistency by aligning item description and packaging notes with carrier expectations for aluminum freight.
