NMFC 107200 – Terne/Tin Plate in Boxes | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Apply NMFC 107200 for terne or tin plate when boxed; it carries a fixed Class 70, so no density calculation is required.
2. Protect edges and faces: interleave sheets with kraft/VCI paper, cap sharp corners, and place stacks in sturdy double‑wall boxes before tendering.
3. Palletize the box for LTL: center the weight, strap and stretch‑wrap the carton to the pallet, and mark “Steel Sheets—Sharp Edges” for dock safety.
4. State the full line on the BOL: “Tin/Terne Plate, NOI, in boxes – NMFC 107200, Class 70” to avoid reclass and accessorial disputes.

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

• Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 70 minimizes reclass fees and supports accurate quoting.
• Boxed packaging reduces abrasion and edge damage, lowering claim risk on high‑value sheet goods.
• Non‑hazardous designation speeds tendering and simplifies carrier approvals for industrial and OEM lanes.
• Standardized item usage across plants streamlines procurement and consolidation for tinplate/terne plate supply chains.
