How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Reference NMFC 124940 on the BOL and describe contents as “iron/steel cane or parts, NOI” to prevent reclass fees.
- Bundle long cane shafts or rails with steel or poly strapping, add corner protectors, and cap sharp ends to avoid punctures in transit.
- Pack small fittings—ferrules, collars, brackets—in a wood crate or heavy box with dividers; line with VCI wrap to reduce surface rust.
- Even with fixed Class 77.5, include accurate weight and pallet dimensions for LTL quotes and to ensure proper cubic capacity planning.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
