NMFC 110230 - Lead Castings/Extrusions >80% Pb | Class 60

Note 110231: NOTE-Applies only on articles manufactured solely by a casting or extruding process.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm density meets the 30+ lb/ft³ threshold for Class 60. Example: a 1,200 lb box measuring 20×24×18 in is 5.0 ft³, giving 240 lb/ft³—solidly within this item.
2. Package for weight, not volume: use heavy-duty boxes or steel/plastic drums with poly liners to control lead dust, then band securely to a pallet with edge protection and full stretch wrap.
3. Mark documents and freight: “Lead Alloy Castings/Extrusions NOI – NMFC 110230 – Class 60 – Non-Hazardous.” Include handling unit count plus accurate gross and net weights to avoid reweighs.
4. Load low and keep centered. Place these dense pieces on the trailer floor or bottom tier, avoid overhang, and keep them away from light, crushable freight.

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

• Leverages Class 60 for high-density lead shapes, typically producing better LTL rates than lighter, higher-class commodities.
• Non-hazardous status removes hazmat fees and paperwork, widening carrier options and speeding tendering.
• Properly lined, banded, and labeled units reduce reclasses, reweighs, and damage claims—cutting accessorials and dispute time.
• Accurate density documentation improves quote precision and helps qualify for sharper tariffs or FAK programs with core carriers.
