How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Verify your parts match the entry: threaded turnbuckles or sleeve nuts, not insulated, shipped in packages. Reference Note item 107342 on your BOL for clarity.
  2. Protect threads and eyes with caps or foam collars, then box or crate with dividers so steel parts cannot rub. Example: kit turnbuckle sets in partitioned cartons with wrap.
  3. Distribute weight evenly in heavy-duty boxes and band cartons to a pallet for LTL. Use VCI paper or desiccant if shipping galvanized or plain steel to limit corrosion.
  4. Print “Turnbuckles/Sleeve Nuts—Steel, NMFC 107340, Class 50” on labels and paperwork to prevent density checks or reclass and speed terminal handling.

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

Business Value

  • Locked-in Class 50 rating reduces reclass risk and keeps LTL quotes predictable for metal hardware.
  • Simple, non-density NMFC entry cuts measurement time and avoids costly inspection delays.
  • Damage prevention via thread protection and partitioned packaging lowers claims and return costs.
  • Clear NMFC 107340 usage streamlines procurement-to-shipment workflows for rigging and hardware suppliers.
