Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
104870.00 Clips, concrete or plaster reinforcement, in packages 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack small steel clips in sturdy, double-wall cartons with inner bags or dividers so edges don’t chafe through and parts don’t scatter in transit.
  2. Limit each package to manageable weights (e.g., 25–50 lb) and seal with reinforced tape; unitize multiple cartons with stretch wrap for safer LTL handling.
  3. Label clearly: “Steel reinforcement clips — concrete/plaster — NMFC 104870, Class 65,” and include piece counts and net/gross weights to speed carrier inspections.
  4. For jobsite deliveries, request liftgate or appointment service and avoid loose pieces; bundle cartons on a skid when volume is high to reduce loss risk.

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