How to Use This Classification
- State the exact solid form on the BOL—bars, ingots, plate, or machined parts—and include spec sheets or photos to avoid reclass delays.
- Bundle tightly on pallets with steel or poly banding, add edge guards, and block/bracing so low-weight bundles don’t slide or shift in transit.
- Use moisture barriers like stretch wrap or VCI paper for bare metal surfaces, and clearly mark packages “Solid Magnesium Metal” to prevent mixing with fines or scrap.
- Crate long stock or irregular castings with capped skids; target lengths under 96 inches to avoid oversize handling and extra accessorials.
Business Value
- Correctly identifying items under NMFC 133600 reduces reclass and rebill risk, speeding carrier approvals and billing.
- Protective bundling and edge protection cut surface damage on soft magnesium, lowering claims and replacement costs.
- Right-sized pallets and controlled lengths improve trailer utilization for this light metal, helping reduce LTL cost per pound.
- Clear labeling and separation from incompatible materials streamline cross-dock handling, minimizing delays and detention.
