Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 107060.00 | Strip Steel, NOI, other than gold plated | 50 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 107060 on the BOL with “Strip Steel, NOI, other than gold plated”; include coil or bundle count, widths, thicknesses, and total weight to avoid reclass.
- Secure coils eye-to-the-sky on skids with chocks; band tightly with steel or PET strapping, add edge protectors, and use anti-telescoping bars for narrow widths.
- Protect finish and control moisture: wrap with VCI paper or poly, note oiled vs dry on documents, and cap cores to reduce rust during multi-stop LTL moves.
- Flag sharp edges and center of gravity; request no-top-stack if stability is a concern and specify forklift pocket access or clamp handling at pickup and delivery.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 50 for dense strip steel delivers lower, predictable LTL rates compared to mixed-density commodities.
- Single, non-hazardous classification shortens quoting cycles and reduces reweigh-reclass disputes and administrative fees.
- Stronger banding and proper coil orientation reduce OS&D claims, keeping stampers and fabricators on schedule with fewer line stoppages.
- Clear packaging and handling notes curb accessorials like detention and extra labor, improving total landed cost and carrier acceptance.
