Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
126305.00 Bars or Knives, filling, beater roll or pulp grinder or refiner plug or shell, in boxes, or in bundles weighing each 50 pounds or over:
126305.01 Iron 65
126305.02 Metal, NOI 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Verify the parts are bars or knives for beater rolls, pulp grinders, or refiner plugs/shells—not full assemblies—so they fit NMFC 126305.
  2. Pack in heavy-duty boxes or band secure bundles; each box or bundle should weigh at least 50 lb to qualify for this item.
  3. Guard sharp edges with rigid caps or blade sleeves and add rust-inhibitor wrap for steel; mark packages “Sharp Edges” for safe handling.
  4. On the BOL, list NMFC 126305 and packaging (boxes or bundles) and select the correct weight-based class—65 or 100 per NMFC breakpoints.

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

Business Value

  • Lower costs via weight-based rating: heavier qualifying pieces can price at class 65 versus class 100 for lighter breaks.
  • No density curve to calculate, speeding quotes and reducing reclass risk for mill parts and MRO replenishment.
  • Using sturdy boxes or compliant bundles minimizes damage and exception fees on sharp, high-hardness components.
  • Clear NMFC labeling and 50 lb+ packaging improve carrier acceptance, cutting delays for paper mills and refiner service shops.
