NMFC 135800 - Beryllium-Aluminum Ingots in Boxes | N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item exactly as “Ingots, beryllium-aluminum, in boxes” on the BOL and quotes, and include NMFC 135800 to align carrier rating.
2. Palletize boxed ingots on load-rated, four-way pallets; band and stretch-wrap tightly, and avoid double-stacking unless packaging is certified for it.
3. Provide piece count, box dimensions, and actual weight per box; request liftgate or heavy-piece handling when any box exceeds typical LTL limits (e.g., 150 lb).
4. Keep boxes sealed and dry; consider inner liners or VCI wrap to limit moisture exposure and surface oxidation during transit and storage.

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

• Correct NMFC identification reduces reclass and rebill risk, protecting margins and preventing delays.
• Boxed and palletized handling streamlines cross-dock transfers, lowering damage probability and accessorials.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and paperwork, shortening quote times and simplifying tendering.
• LTL-friendly packaging enables consolidation with other metals freight, often cheaper than dedicated truckload.
