How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Pack pins in sturdy cartons with dividers or sleeves, cap the ends, and add VCI wrap to prevent metal-to-metal scuffing and corrosion during transit.
- List the BOL description exactly as “Pins, bar, shock absorber, in packages,” include NMFC 126670 and Class 55, and note piece count and total weight for quick check-in.
- Use double-wall corrugated cartons (or small wooden crates) for dense, heavy pin bundles; tape seams, strap the box, and mark HEAVY to reduce handling damage.
- Bundle by size and length for inventory control; place each bundle in poly bags to contain residual oil and keep cartons clean and carrier-compliant.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 55 rating means no density math, enabling faster quotes and fewer reclass fees for these compact metal components.
- Accurate NMFC 126670 usage aligns with carrier tariffs, improving invoice accuracy and minimizing dispute time and accessorial surprises.
- Proper packaged presentation (dividers, VCI, end caps) curbs abrasion and bent pins, lowering claims and protecting customer acceptance rates.
- Dense, uniform cartons cube efficiently on trailers, improving load planning and helping secure sharper LTL rates over time.
