NMFC 11770 - Aircraft Brake Discs/Drums | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use double-wall boxes or sturdy wooden crates with foam blocking to immobilize discs or drums; add edge guards to protect machined surfaces.
2. Line metal parts with VCI paper or oil-resistant wrap to prevent corrosion during transit, especially for longer routes or humid climates.
3. Record part numbers, serials, and lot codes on the BOL and outer packaging to streamline MRO receiving and traceability for AOG or overhaul work.
4. If shipping multiple boxes, band them to a pallet and mark lift points; dense iron/steel parts can shift and damage packaging if not braced.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies rating and prevents density reclass, reducing unexpected carrier adjustments.
• Non-hazardous designation opens more carrier options and faster tendering for urgent MRO and AOG moves.
• Box or crate packaging standardization cuts claims risk and shortens inspection time at maintenance facilities.
• Accurate NMFC use improves quote speed and cost predictability for routine component overhauls and spares replenishment.
