NMFC 106050 - Silver-Clad Plate Bundles | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. On the BOL, state: “NMFC 106050 — silver‑clad plate, wrapped bundles, securely metal‑strapped; Class 100” to ensure proper rating.
2. Build bundles with rust‑inhibiting wrap, edge protection, wood dunnage, and at least two longitudinal and two cross metal bands to create tight, forklift‑safe units.
3. Combine smaller cut plates into a single wrapped, strapped bundle; keep sides square and stable to meet Note 106722 and prevent loose pieces.
4. Label each bundle with weight, piece count, and center‑of‑gravity, add “Do Not Unband,” and photograph packaging before tender for clean handoffs and claim support.

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

• Fixed Class 100 eliminates density calculations and helps avoid costly reclass or inspection delays.
• Compliant wrapped, metal‑strapped bundles reduce edge damage and tarnish, lowering claim frequency and replacement expense.
• Non‑hazardous commodity broadens carrier availability and avoids hazmat surcharges and special paperwork.
• Consolidating plates into forklift‑friendly bundles streamlines terminal handling and cuts accessorial risks like rebanding or repack fees.
