NMFC 115620 - Steel Bushings, NOI | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the spec: iron or steel bushings without soft metal bearing surfaces; if a soft metal liner exists, use a different NMFC to avoid reclassification.
2. Pack in sturdy cartons or small crates with dividers or trays; bag parts or use VCI paper to control oil and corrosion, and block ends so pieces can’t roll.
3. Palletize multiple cartons in an interlocked pattern, add corner boards, and strap or stretch-wrap tightly; mark “Heavy Small Parts” to alert dock crews.
4. On the BOL, list “Bushings, NOI, iron or steel, in packages — NMFC 115620, Class 65”; no density needed. Example: 8 cartons, 600 steel bushings, banded to 1 pallet.

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

• Fixed Class 65 simplifies quoting and prevents density-based reclass fees on dense hardware.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines booking and avoids hazmat surcharges or special paperwork.
• Clear “in packages” requirement reduces damage risk, claims, and reship costs for repeat orders.
• Predictable rating supports annual contracts for OEMs, MRO suppliers, and distributors shipping bushings.
