NMFC 120880 - Cast-Iron Exhaust Pipe Heads | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Declare NMFC 120880 and Class 65 on the BOL, and note “cast-iron exhaust pipe heads in packages” to match the rule language.
2. Use rigid outer cartons or crates with internal bracing; cushion the machined ends with foam collars and add corner guards to prevent chipping.
3. Band or shrink-wrap inner boxes to a pallet so the heavy iron pieces cannot shift; mark Do Not Stack if packaging is single-wall corrugated.
4. If sending multiple heads, separate each with partitions or molded trays and add corrosion inhibitor paper when storing in humid warehouses.

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

• Fixed Class 65 simplifies LTL quotes—no density calculation, faster pricing decisions.
• Accurate NMFC coding reduces reclass and inspection fees, protecting margins on auto parts lanes.
• Damage-resistant packaging lowers claims on brittle cast-iron edges, preserving customer scores and lead times.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges, making exhaust parts moves more cost predictable.
