NMFC 135600 - Chrome Tungsten in Boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the line item as “Chrome Tungsten, NMFC 135600, Class 100, non-hazardous” on the BOL and specify packaging (boxed or drum) for clean rating.
2. Use heavy-duty corrugated boxes with interior blocking or liners to contain dense pieces; for drums, secure lock rings and palletize with chocks to prevent rolling.
3. Distribute weight evenly across a 48x40 pallet, avoid overhang, band tightly, and stretch-wrap; keep each box to safe manual-lift limits or use multiple cartons.
4. Keep contents dry and free of contaminants; add poly liners if needed and protect edges with corner boards. Photograph packed skids to speed carrier inspections.

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

• Fixed Class 100 delivers predictable LTL pricing and eliminates density disputes that trigger reclass charges.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat paperwork, surcharges, and carrier restrictions, shortening tender time.
• Clear boxed/drum packaging improves dock handling, reducing OS&D claims and preventing inspection delays.
• Accurate NMFC labeling streamlines rate shopping across carriers and helps maintain service reliability.
