NMFC 127935 - Iron/Aluminum or Plastic Parts | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify materials and hose length: items may be iron plus aluminum or plastic, with no hose or up to 10 ft total. Exceeding 10 ft likely requires a different NMFC.
2. Use sturdy corrugated boxes (ECT 44 or better), block and brace parts, and bag any hose to prevent scuffs. Add rust inhibitors for iron components to avoid corrosion.
3. Capture exact exterior dimensions for each box. Class is fixed at 85, but carriers price by space, so LxWxH affects cube, stacking, and linehaul planning.
4. Palletize without overhang, strap and wrap tightly, and print NMFC 127935 and Class 85 on the BOL. Example: coil an 8 ft hose inside the box and pad fittings.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 85 eliminates density math and reduces reclass disputes.
• Lower claim risk: the boxed requirement encourages protective packaging for mixed-material components.
• Compliance savings: keeping hose length at or below 10 ft avoids reclass fees and delays.
• Simplified cataloging: one code covers iron/aluminum or plastic combinations, streamlining quotes for auto and machinery parts suppliers.
