NMFC 104360 - Iron/Steel Bars, Sheet, Tin Plate | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book as Class 50 and note NMFC 104360 on the BOL; no density rating is required for this item.
2. For bars: band into tight bundles with steel strapping, add wood runners for fork access, and cap bundle ends to prevent shift or puncture.
3. For sheet or tin plate: stack on skids with slip sheets, edge protectors, and corner guards; band securely and wrap or use VCI paper to limit moisture and rust.
4. Prevent overhang and identify center of gravity; mark “Do Not Top Load” on thin sheet packs and block with dunnage or anti-skid mats during transit.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable pricing from a fixed Class 50 means simpler budgeting and fewer rating surprises.
• Lower reclass and inspection risk by using NMFC 104360 and proper bundle or skid packaging.
• Faster dock turns: forklift-friendly runners and protected edges reduce handling time and damage claims.
• Better consolidation options—bar bundles and sheet skids cube efficiently, improving LTL rates and per‑unit freight cost.
