NMFC 131820 - Tractor Brake Parts, Pkg | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use rugged corrugated cartons with dividers or foam to isolate heavy cast-iron shoes and protect friction linings; bag linings to keep out moisture and grit.
2. Bundle matched shoes or pads as sets and label axle/side to prevent mix-ups at ag dealers or fleet shops during receiving.
3. Keep individual boxes manageable (ideally under 50–70 lb); mark “Heavy” when needed and add edge protectors and tape/straps to stop carton burst.
4. Print NMFC 131820 and Class 70 on the BOL; note “non-hazardous tractor brake parts in packages,” and include piece counts for clean claims handling.

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