How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use heavy-duty boxes with poly liners for loose pieces or shot; if using sealed drums, ensure tight lids and no leakage of fines before palletizing.
- List NMFC 110070 and Class 60 on the BOL, include count and total weight per box or drum—no density details needed for rating.
- Stabilize weight on 48x40 pallets with steel or poly banding and stretch wrap; add edge protectors so metal parts don’t crush the carton walls.
- Prevent dust escape and contamination: double-bag inside boxes, tape seams, and add a top cap sheet; keep away from food items in mixed LTL.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 60 enables predictable LTL pricing and less risk of reclass charges versus density-based items.
- Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat paperwork and fees, streamlining tendering and improving transit flexibility.
- Boxed or drummed packaging improves handling efficiency, reducing damage claims and accessorials from spills or repacks.
- Clear item definition—antimonial lead other than pigs or slabs—helps carriers rate accurately and speeds up quoting.
