How to Use This Classification
- Match the piece to the right subgroup: roof trimmings, gutter sections/downspouts, or ventilator hoods. Note metal type (aluminum, galvanized steel) and whether assembled or knocked down.
- Bundle long trims tightly with steel/plastic banding, edge guards, and stretch wrap; cap gutter ends and add dunnage between nested profiles to stop crush damage.
- Crate or palletize ventilators and formed parts with blocking and foam; keep flanges and fasteners within the pallet footprint to avoid oversize accessorials.
- Measure and declare max length and stack height—over‑length fees often trigger at 8–12 ft in LTL, so plan routing and pricing accordingly.
Business Value
- Correctly grouping freight under NMFC 35600 reduces reclass risk, protecting your quoted LTL rates and preventing invoice disputes.
- Damage‑resistant bundling and crating for thin‑gauge metals lowers OS&D exposure, cutting replacements, returns, and customer penalties.
- Clear non‑hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and dock workflows, improving pickup reliability and transit consistency.
- Detailed specs (material, finish, assembled vs. KD) enable brokers to choose carriers with suitable handling, often yielding better pricing and fewer fees.
