NMFC 136430 - Solder, Brazier's NOI | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm alloy content excludes gold, palladium, or silver to remain under this NMFC entry; note this clearly on the BOL to avoid reclass.
2. Pack rods, bars, or wire spools in sturdy corrugated boxes with dividers or molded trays, and line interiors to prevent abrasion and metal dust.
3. Palletize boxed cases on standard 40x48 pallets, no overhang; add corner boards and stretch wrap, then label NMFC 136430, Class 60, piece count, and weight.
4. Provide dimensions and weight for rating even though class is fixed at 60; example: 8 boxed spools, 900 lb total on 1 pallet.

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

• Fixed Class 60 simplifies quoting and helps control LTL spend compared to higher-class metal items.
• Non-hazardous designation reduces accessorial risk and avoids hazmat documentation or carrier restrictions.
• Boxed packaging improves stackability and cube efficiency, cutting damage claims and optimizing trailer utilization.
• Clear NMFC/BOL descriptions prevent reclass and rebills, keeping margins predictable for repeat shipments.
