NMFC 140860 - Nickel‑Silver Rivets in Boxes | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use rugged corrugated boxes with inner bags or dividers so loose rivets don’t abrade or burst seams; tape and band heavy cartons to prevent open-and-spill incidents.
2. Palletize small cartons in an interlocking pattern on a 40×48 pallet, add a top sheet, edge protectors, and stretch wrap; mark “Heavy” where individual cartons exceed safe lift limits.
3. List NMFC 140860, Class 70, and “nickel‑silver rivets” on the BOL; include piece count, carton weight, and packaging type (boxes or drums) to avoid reclass and inspection delays.
4. If drums are used, secure ring‑lock lids, strap drums to pallets, and block/brace to stop rolling; add moisture control to preserve finish even though nickel‑silver resists corrosion.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 70 means no density calculations, enabling faster quotes and fewer invoice disputes.
• Cost‑efficient cube: dense rivets ship in compact cartons, improving trailer utilization and helping control LTL freight rates.
• Lower reclass risk: precise NMFC 140860 commodity naming reduces audit flags, accessorials, and chargebacks.
• Repeatable packaging standards: standardized boxed packs simplify warehouse picking, carrier selection, and multi‑stop distribution.
