Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
139760.00 Anodes, nickel, in packages 65

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. On your BOL, list: 'Anodes, nickel, in packages — NMFC 139760, Class 65, non-hazardous' to prevent reclass and delays.
  2. Package heavy anodes on sturdy pallets or in wooden crates; band tightly with steel strap and add edge protectors to stop shift or abrasion.
  3. Keep metal dry and clean: use plastic wrap or VCI paper, cover in vans, and avoid exposure to salts that can discolor or contaminate plating stock.
  4. Declare accurate piece count and weight per package; request liftgate or appointment service when single pieces exceed safe manual handling thresholds.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 65 means predictable LTL pricing across lanes and carriers, speeding quotes and budgeting.
  • No density calculation reduces paperwork, audit risk, and reclass fees on dense metal freight.
  • Non-hazardous commodity streamlines carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat surcharges or special documentation.
  • Clear 'in packages' requirement minimizes damage and claim exposure versus loose metal, keeping total landed cost lower.
