NMFC 114260 - Wire | Class 300

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book at Class 300 under NMFC 114260, and note the packaging type (reels, spools, or bundled coils) on the bill of lading.
2. For reels/spools: cap flanges, secure an axle block, and band the reel to a pallet with edge protectors. Keep no overhang and wrap to prevent unwinding.
3. For loose coils: use steel or poly strapping with corner guards, shrink wrap the bundle, and mark “Coils—Do Not Cut Bands.”
4. Mark handling needs like “Do Not Stack” if flanges can’t bear load, and provide piece counts, dimensions, and weights for each handling unit to avoid cubic/min rules.

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

• Accurate Class 300 rating reduces reclass and surprise adjustments, keeping quotes aligned with carrier invoices.
• Correct reel/coil packaging prevents kinks and crushed flanges, lowering claims and protecting line output for auto and industrial users.
• Palletized reels speed cross-dock transfers and improve pickup success, shortening transit and dwell time.
• Clear piece-level specs help carriers plan cubic capacity, preventing oversize fees and stabilizing freight rates.
