NMFC 107440 - Sash Weights in Packages | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select Class 50 for iron or steel sash weights shipped in packages and note NMFC 107440 on the BOL. Record total shipment weight and package count.
2. Pack tightly: nest weights with corrugated dividers, wrap, and band bundles to a pallet. Use end caps or edge guards to protect eyelets and prevent rolling.
3. Center heavy bundles on a 48x40 pallet and secure with at least two steel or poly bands. Mark “Heavy” and “Do Not Stack” if cartons exceed safe stacking limits.
4. Avoid density-based rating—this item is fixed Class 50. Do not list as scrap or generic bars; specify “sash weights, packaged, non-hazardous” for clean inspections.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 50 eliminates density audits and reduces reclass risks that drive up LTL costs.
• Lower claims exposure: proper bundling and blocking prevent rolling and eyelet damage, protecting cast iron or steel finishes.
• Faster quotes and broader carrier acceptance: non-hazardous status removes HazMat surcharges and simplifies booking.
• Operational efficiency: palletized package units speed cross-dock handling and inventory counts, cutting dwell time and accessorials.
