Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
120900.00 Exhaust Pipe Heads, plate or sheet steel, in boxes, crates or drums 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Box or crate each batch with blocking, edge guards, and foam on flanges to prevent dings on the steel heads during cross‑dock handling.
  2. Separate plate/sheet steel surfaces with VCI paper or corrugated pads, and apply a light oil wipe when routing through humid lanes to deter rust.
  3. Secure boxes/crates to 4‑way pallets; band and stretch‑wrap tightly, keeping the center of gravity low and labeling lift points to avoid side‑fork punctures.
  4. On the BOL, list “Exhaust Pipe Heads, steel, boxed/crated – NMFC 120900, Class 100,” with piece count and pallet count to prevent reclass or inspection fees.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 rating speeds quotes and simplifies LTL pricing—no density calculation required.
  • Non‑hazardous status streamlines tendering and reduces documentation, helping loads move without delay.
  • Packaging to spec (boxes or crates) minimizes reclass charges and unexpected accessorials from carrier inspections.
  • Proper bracing and corrosion control cut damage claims, protecting margins and keeping production or repair schedules on track.
