How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Quote as NMFC 135335 at Class 65. No density needed—enter accurate piece count and total weight for packaged cadmium anodes.
- Use lined cartons or sturdy wood crates to contain any surface dust. Example: poly bag each anode, then double‑wall box with foam or corrugated pads.
- Palletize heavy loads on 4‑way hardwood pallets; add top caps, corner boards, and steel strapping. Keep stacks under ~40 in to prevent tipping.
- Separate from food items and moisture sources. Ideal for plating shops: label as “Cadmium Anodes, Cast, Packaged” for quick receiving and audit trails.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 65—simplifies LTL rate shopping and budget planning for metal finishing supply chains.
- Reduced reclass risk since the item is not density‑based; clean paperwork avoids correction fees and delays.
- Dense, durable cargo means lower cost per pound compared to lighter classes, improving landed cost on bulk replenishments.
- Streamlined operations for electroplating vendors: faster tendering, fewer disputes, and easier consolidation with other metal inputs.
