Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
105560.00 Inserts, structural, for concrete or masonry construction 50

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack inserts in heavy-wall cartons, pails, or kegs with dividers; bag in 25–50 piece counts to curb abrasion and protect threads with caps.
  2. Palletize by size and heat/lot; keep the center of gravity low, band with steel strap and edge protectors, and wrap tight. Example: eight 40 lb cartons on a 40x48 pallet under 36 in.
  3. Use precise paperwork: list “NMFC 105560, structural steel inserts, Class 50.” Avoid describing as rebar or miscellaneous fasteners to prevent reclassification.
  4. When mixing with anchor bolts or plates, segregate SKUs and label each carton; place small boxes in a crate or gaylord to stop loss during handling.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable, low rating at Class 50 helps secure competitive LTL rates versus higher hardware classes.
  • Reduced reclass and inspection fees by citing the exact NMFC and the correct commodity description.
  • Lower damage and shortage risk via unitized, banded pallets and bagged piece counts—fewer jobsite delays.
  • Faster quoting and routing since class is fixed; only weights and dimensions affect price, not density.
