How to Use This Classification

  • Pin down the exact product for the BOL: chain-link fabric rolls, welded wire panels, wood pickets, aluminum/steel gate frames, or lawn edging, and note material and whether it’s assembled or a kit to align with the correct NMFC sub-item.
  • Bundle long panels with edge protectors and dunnage, then strap to a sturdy pallet with no overhang; crate ornamental gates with diagonal bracing and box hinge/latch kits, strapping the accessory box to the master unit.
  • Flag lengths over 8–12 ft before pickup to plan forklift handling and avoid surprise overlength fees; add clear fork-entry marks and “Do Not Stack” labeling on bundles and crates.
  • Protect finishes: use breathable wrap and stickers for wood to prevent warp; apply film, corner guards, and slip sheets for galvanized or powder-coated metal or vinyl to prevent scuffs and corrosion.

Business Value

  • Accurate item detail mapping within the fencing group reduces reclass and inspection fees, producing stable quotes and fewer billing disputes.
  • Damage prevention through braced crates and protected bundles lowers OS&D claims, reshipments, and warranty costs on high-value gates and panels.
  • Consolidating posts, panels, and hardware kits into a single handling unit cuts accessorials, minimizes misplacements, and speeds dock turns.
  • Proactive overlength planning and standardized packaging reduce carrier exceptions, improving on-time performance and predictable freight rates.
