How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use double‑wall boxes and interleave soft paper or foam between pieces; add edge guards for sheet and strip. Keep each box to manageable weights to prevent crush.
- Keep sheets flat; coil strips loosely with non‑abrasive liners. Fill voids so stacks can’t shift, and avoid tight banding that can dent the soft pewter alloy.
- Stage boxes on a pallet for LTL, then stretch‑wrap with corner boards. Mark BOL and cartons: “Pewter Disks/Sheet — NMFC 135625 — Class 65.”
- Control moisture with VCI paper or desiccants and seal cartons. Record piece counts, diameters, and thicknesses to streamline receiving and claims.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing: Fixed Class 65 (no density break) simplifies quoting and helps avoid reclass fees.
- Non‑hazardous alloy status broadens carrier acceptance and shortens tender-to-pickup timelines.
- Damage reduction: Proper boxing prevents scuffing and bending, lowering claim risk and replacement costs.
- Operational simplicity: One NMFC line covers disks, circles, sheet, and strip, reducing paperwork and SKU complexity.
