How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List on the BOL as “NMFC 106920, Class 70 – iron/steel awning or canopy slats/flashing in packages” to avoid reclassification.
- Bundle straight (non-coiled) lengths with steel banding, add edge/corner protectors, then secure to a skid to prevent bending and edge rash.
- Use long, rigid pallets (e.g., 8–12 ft) and block the ends; note overlength to prevent unexpected accessorials for patio, porch, or carport sizes.
- Separate mixed items (slats, flashing, mounting strips, fasciae) by length and label each bundle for quick receiving and accurate counts.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable Class 70 rating streamlines LTL quotes and reduces surprise reclass fees for metal awning and shutter components.
- Non-hazardous status minimizes paperwork and speeds tendering across multi-stop retail or contractor deliveries.
- Clear coverage for iron or steel slats, flashing, mounting strips, and fasciae enables consolidated shipments across window, patio, and carport programs.
- Damage prevention via proper edge protection and unitization lowers claim ratios and replacement spend on finished metal trims.
