How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- State the full description on the BOL: “Rings, locking, washing or drying machine, iron or steel, in packages — NMFC 124215, Class 70.” Include count and weight.
- Pack rings in sturdy cartons with inner bags or dividers to prevent metal-on-metal abrasion; add VCI wrap for corrosion protection if storage or humid routes are expected.
- Palletize small cartons, keep everything within the pallet footprint, and use banding or stretch wrap so no loose parts travel outside of packages.
- Avoid loose bulk. This item rates at Class 70 specifically when shipped in packages, so box or crate every piece before tendering LTL.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable rating: Fixed Class 70 means consistent quoting and fewer reclass fees for washer/dryer service parts.
- Lower damage risk: Properly packaged small metal rings reduce claims and avoid costly service delays for appliance repair programs.
- Inventory-friendly: Cartonized, labeled packs make fast receiving and binning at distribution centers and laundromat chains.
- Non-haz status speeds tendering and broadens carrier options, helping secure better LTL capacity and competitive rates.
