How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
