NMFC 122675 - Steel Die Set Guide Pins | Class 77.5

Note 122677: NOTE-Also applies on accompanying metal clips or retainers.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the item match: steel guide pins for die sets or molds, finished or unfinished, mixed in the same box with bearings or bushings as allowed by the NMFC note (item 122677).
2. Pack in sturdy boxes with dividers: sleeve or cap pin ends, bag bearings/bushings separately, and use VCI paper to prevent corrosion during transit.
3. Label clearly for the carrier: “Guide Pins mixed with Bearings/Bushings – NMFC 122675, Class 77.5” and list piece counts for pins and for bearings/bushings.
4. Quote LTL using fixed Class 77.5; density isn’t required for this item. Palletize multiple boxes with heavier pin cartons on the bottom to avoid damage.

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

• Predictable rating with a fixed Class 77.5 reduces reclass fees and speeds up quoting.
• Kitting flexibility: pins can ship with bearings or bushings in the same box, cutting handling time and consolidation costs for toolrooms and mold shops.
• Box-friendly packaging simplifies fulfillment and lowers damage risk compared to loose metal components, improving claim ratios.
• Non-hazardous steel parts avoid hazmat surcharges and paperwork, shortening dock time and streamlining carrier selection.
