How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 110450 and Class 70 on the BOL; rating is fixed for boxed lead tags, so no density calculation is needed.
  2. Use double-wall corrugated boxes with inner liners or poly bags to contain small chips or residue; add dividers to prevent edge abrasion.
  3. Palletize evenly on a 48x40 pallet, keep box weights in the 40–60 lb range for safe handling, then stretch-wrap and cross-band for stability.
  4. Label boxes “Lead Tags—Metal” and keep markings visible; clear ID speeds inspections and reduces over/short/damaged (OS&D) issues.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 simplifies pricing and reduces reclass risk tied to density, protecting margins.
  • Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and special routing, lowering landed cost.
  • Box packaging aligns with carrier handling standards, decreasing damage claims and dwell times at pickup.
  • Explicit NMFC mapping (110450) accelerates audit reconciliation and minimizes billing disputes.
