Classification Details

NMFC Description Class

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the commodity as “Nickel‑clad plate or sheet, wrapped bundles securely metal‑strapped – NMFC 106100, Class 70” on the BOL to avoid reclass.
  2. Bundle sheets tightly with steel banding and corner/edge protectors; full-wrap the stack (plastic or VCI paper) to control abrasion and corrosion during transit.
  3. Stage on solid skids or timber runners for fork entry, keeping strap tails flush; aim for even weight distribution to prevent bundle roll or slide.
  4. Reference Note, item 106722 when verifying packaging: ensure straps are secure, wrap is intact, and labels show piece count and bundle dimensions for fast handling.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 pricing simplifies LTL quotes and eliminates density disputes, reducing reclass and rebill risk.
  • Compliant wrapped, metal‑strapped bundles move cleanly through cross‑docks, lowering handling time and potential edge damage claims.
  • Non‑hazardous status streamlines paperwork and broadens carrier options, supporting faster scheduling and fewer restrictions.
  • Clear NMFC identification (106100) improves carrier confidence, helping secure sharper rates compared to ad‑hoc “metal sheets” descriptions.
