NMFC 106670 – Ship Scuttles | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print NMFC 106670 and Class 50 on the BOL; this item is not density-based, so no cube or density calculation is required.
2. For loose pieces, secure each scuttle to a skid with hardwood blocking and steel banding; add edge protectors to flanges and brace to prevent rolling or sliding.
3. For packaged shipments, crate or palletize with foam or VCI wrap, cap threaded holes, and protect machined faces to avoid coating damage during LTL cross-dock moves.
4. Mark handling instructions such as Do Not Stack and Lift Here; provide gross weight and center-of-gravity so carriers can use slings or forks safely.

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

• Class 50 delivers low base rates for heavy iron/steel scuttles, reducing landed costs for shipyards, OEMs, and marine distributors.
• Simple, fixed NMFC mapping minimizes reclass fees and inspection delays—quotes stay accurate from tender to delivery.
• Flexibility to ship loose or packaged lets you balance speed and protection, especially for urgent yard repairs or refits.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and paperwork, streamlining bookings through ports and inland terminals.
