NMFC 106180 - Lacquered Steel Sheets in Boxes | Class 70

Note 106181: NOTE-Applies on plate or sheet lacquered or painted with more than one coat on one or both surfaces, or when lacquered or painted with more than one color on either or both surfaces.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use this item when shipping lacquered, lithographed, painted, or printed iron/steel plates or sheets packed in closed boxes; Class 70 applies without density calculation.
2. On the BOL, state: “NMFC 106180 – Iron or Steel Plate/Sheet, lacquered/lithographed, in boxes, Class 70,” including box count and total weight for accurate rating.
3. Protect decorated faces: interleave with paper/film, add edge guards, and choose rigid boxes. Palletize boxed sheets with no overhang and secure with stretch wrap or banding.
4. If your product aligns with Note, item 106181, review that note to confirm fit. Example: 20×28 in lithographed sheets, 8 boxes at 75 lb each, shipped as Class 70.

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

• Fixed Class 70 enables predictable LTL quotes and easier cost benchmarking across carriers and lanes.
• Box packaging shields decorated surfaces, lowering damage claims and avoiding costly reprints or scrap.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and speeds tendering without special compliance steps.
• Clear NMFC usage reduces reclass fees and inspection delays, keeping transit times and budgets on track.
