How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- On the BOL, list “NMFC 127930, Class 92.5, Brass/Copper—Boxed or Crated” so carrier ratings and inspections align.
- Choose rigid wooden crates or double‑wall boxes; brace heavy fittings or bar stock with blocking and banding to prevent load shift.
- Distribute weight evenly on a pallet, keep the center of gravity low, and mark forklift entry points; avoid stacking unless packaging is rated.
- Wrap against moisture and abrasion; include piece count and metal type (e.g., brass valves, copper coils) to speed dock identification.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 92.5 reduces density disputes and reclass fees, improving quote accuracy.
- Non‑hazardous metals clear safety checks faster, accelerating pickup and linehaul start.
- Proper crating minimizes damage claims on high‑value alloys, protecting margins and SLAs.
- Standardized box/crate on pallet increases carrier options and sharpens LTL rates.
