How to Use This Classification

Verify your item isn’t listed under a specific NMFC; if not, use NMFC 135300 and note alloy and form (e.g., steel bar, aluminum plate).
Choose packaging matched to the shape: palletized bundles with steel banding, crated plates with blocking, or racks for long lengths, plus edge guards.
Distribute weight evenly and mark lift points; eliminate overhang and pad sharp edges to prevent abrasion or punctures during LTL handling.
List exact piece count, max length, and surface condition (raw, coated, machined) on the BOL to guide carrier handling and avoid accessorials.

Business Value

Correct use of the Metals Group avoids reclass or inspection charges when no commodity-specific listing exists.
Purpose-built packaging for dense, sharp metal shapes reduces claim frequency and protects finishes, lowering total landed cost.
Detailed descriptions help carriers plan gear and trailer space, minimizing unexpected surcharges on long or heavy pieces.
Non-hazardous status speeds carrier approvals and quoting, improving pickup reliability and overall cycle time.
