NMFC 107080 - Studding Sockets, in Packages | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Protect threads and bores before packing by using caps or thread protectors, then wrap each socket in VCI paper or oil-treated poly to resist corrosion.
2. Choose rugged cartons or crate boxes for heavy hardware; add dividers or bag smaller counts so sockets don’t abrade each other in transit.
3. Palletize uniformly: keep heavier cartons low, use dense blocking, and apply two to three steel or poly bands plus stretch wrap to prevent load shift.
4. Write the BOL line as “Studding Sockets, in packages – NMFC 107080, Class 50” to ensure carriers rate correctly and avoid reclass charges.

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

• Predictable costs: fixed Class 50 eliminates density calculations, speeding quotes and preventing rating disputes.
• Lower LTL spend for heavy metal hardware since Class 50 typically prices more favorably than higher classes.
• Reduced accessorial risk: packaged, non-hazardous parts minimize special handling fees and hazmat surcharges.
• Cleaner audits and faster AP: a single NMFC code for all packaged studding sockets streamlines contracts and TMS rules.
