How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 107000 on the BOL and identify the metal/coating (galvanized, brass, bronze, copper‑coated, tinned, japanned) with packaging noted as boxes and exact carton count.
  2. Use heavy‑duty corrugated boxes rated for sharp fasteners; add chipboard sleeves or inner poly to prevent staple points from piercing walls, then stretch‑wrap and cornerboard when palletized.
  3. Protect finish and minimize oxidation: galvanized and tinned resist rust, but brass/bronze and copper‑coated can tarnish—add VCI paper or desiccants for humid lanes.
  4. Leverage density for Class 50 savings: build square pallets with no overhang, band cartons in four spots, and keep tiers even (e.g., 20 x 50‑lb boxes on a 48x40 pallet).

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

Business Value

  • Class 50 pricing lowers cost per pound on dense cartons of staples, reducing LTL spend versus higher‑class hardware items.
  • Single NOI covers multiple metals and coatings, simplifying quotes and routing across galvanized, brass, bronze, or copper‑coated SKUs.
  • Non‑hazardous status eliminates hazmat surcharges and eases carrier selection, improving speed to tender and delivery windows.
  • Boxed, stackable freight optimizes trailer cube and reduces damage claims, protecting margins on high‑volume replenishment moves.
