NMFC 133890 - Magnesium Sticks for Remelt | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 133890 and Class 65 on the BOL, noting packages as the packaging type and that sticks are for regrinding or remelting only.
2. Bundle sticks tightly into banded packages on pallets or in wooden crates; use edge protectors and end caps so no bar ends protrude during LTL handling.
3. Keep material dry and clean to prevent oxidation; line crates with plastic and avoid mixing alloy grades to preserve melt chemistry at the receiving foundry.
4. Provide exact piece counts and net weights per package; block and brace to keep the center of gravity low and allow safe stacking where permitted.

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

• Predictable Class 65 rating streamlines quoting and reduces costly reclass disputes across lanes.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges for lower total landed cost.
• Packaged sticks cube efficiently and stack well, improving space utilization and reducing cost per hundredweight.
• Clear remelt-only designation helps meet recycler and foundry specs, minimizing quality chargebacks and delays.
