NMFC 114270 - Other Than Wire | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify your parts are non‑wire components (e.g., housings, brackets, gear cases) and select NMFC 114270, Class 70 on the BOL.
2. Use rigid protection: crate heavy castings or double‑wall cartons with foam/blocking, then band to a 48x40 pallet and add corner boards.
3. Distribute weight evenly and keep center of gravity low; cap protrusions with edge guards to prevent punctures and rub-through in transit.
4. Do not mix with coiled wire on the same pallet to avoid misclassification; label as “Non‑Wire Auto/Machinery Parts” for quick dock ID.

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

• Fixed Class 70 eliminates density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing rating errors.
• Predictable pricing for durable metal/composite parts helps forecast landed cost on repeat lanes.
• Clear scope (“other than wire”) lowers reclass risk and fees from carrier inspections.
• Standard LTL handling with crating/cartoning improves damage prevention and supports easier consolidation.
