How to Use This Classification

  • Confirm your item belongs in this group by checking NMFC Note 174302; examples include stamped panels, formed covers, light cabinets, and steel brackets.
  • Protect edges and flatness: stack with slip sheets, add edge protectors, band securely, and palletize with no overhang; crate small or loose pieces.
  • Prevent corrosion and scuffs with VCI paper or film, corner caps, and wrap painted/galvanized parts; request dry van service and avoid top-load on thin sets.
  • State on the BOL: "NMFC 174300 — Sheet Steel Articles Group — See Note 174302," and include piece count, dimensions, and weight; attach photos for claims support.

Business Value

  • Applying the governing note yields the correct subclass, avoiding reclass charges and invoice disputes for predictable pricing.
  • Square, dense palletization of sheet steel reduces handling touches and damage, cutting claim costs and improving on-time performance.
  • Moisture and edge protection lowers concealed-damage risk, safeguarding margins and customer satisfaction on fabricated metal shipments.
  • Clear BOL language tied to NMFC 174300 speeds dock processing and audits, helping avoid delay-related accessorials.
