How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 110050 and “Anodes, in packages” on the BOL; the item moves at fixed Class 55, so no density calculation is needed.
- Palletize packaged anodes tightly with stretch wrap and a plastic liner to contain surface residue; use steel or poly strapping with edge protectors.
- Brace heavy bundles with blocking and dunnage; mark each package with gross weight and HEAVY labels to guide safe forklift handling.
- Keep moisture barriers intact to prevent surface oxidation; segregate from food-grade goods and confirm carrier acceptance for lead products.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 55 reduces reclass and surprise charges.
- Non-hazardous status streamlines tendering and expands carrier options, cutting admin time.
- Properly packaged anodes see fewer damage and cleanup claims, lowering total landed cost.
- Consistent NMFC coding enables faster quoting and smoother consolidation across LTL networks.
