Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
110070.00 Antimonial, other than pigs or slabs, in boxes or drums 60

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. List NMFC 110070 and Class 60 on the BOL, include count and total weight per box or drum—no density details needed for rating.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
