How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- State the full item on the BOL: Rolls, spinning frame top, steel, not covered, in boxes – NMFC 131390, Class 70, and include piece count and total weight.
- Prevent scuffing and corrosion: wrap each roll in VCI paper, add edge guards, then immobilize with foam or blocked inserts so steel cannot contact steel inside the box.
- Unitize safely: place boxes on a sturdy pallet, keep weight centered, add corner boards, and band/strap to the pallet; mark This Side Up and Fragile – Precision Steel.
- Schedule appropriate LTL service; note non-hazmat machinery parts, request liftgate or appointment delivery for mills or repair shops without docks.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing: fixed Class 70 removes density disputes and reduces costly reclass fees.
- Lower damage risk: boxed steel rolls protect precision surfaces, cutting claims and downtime for textile operations.
- Faster tendering: clear NMFC item and packaging speed carrier acceptance and quote turnaround.
- No hazmat overhead: non-hazardous status avoids extra surcharges and simplifies paperwork across lanes.
