NMFC 140940 - Nickel-Silver Wire in Packages | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack coils or spools in sturdy cartons or crates; cap ends, shrink-wrap, and strap so the wire can’t unwind. Palletize heavier boxes to prevent bending or kinks.
2. Print “NMFC 140940 – Class 60 – Non-Haz” on the BOL and carton labels. Include piece count and total weight; density entry isn’t required for this listing.
3. Use edge protectors and void fill so the coil OD doesn’t rub through the box. For thin-gauge instrument or jewelry wire, add “Do Not Crush” handling notes.
4. For humid or export routes, line packages with VCI paper or desiccant to limit tarnish. Note alloy details on documents if the receiver needs traceability.

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

• Stable pricing: a fixed Class 60 means predictable LTL quotes and fewer surprises compared to density-based metal listings.
• Lower reclass risk: using the exact NMFC 140940 line item reduces inspections, billing adjustments, and time lost to disputes.
• Faster operations: one clear class accelerates TMS setup, carrier selection, and spot bids for electronics, jewelry, and connector wire shipments.
• Fewer claims: packaging practices that stop unspooling and crush damage protect coil integrity, reducing scrap and replacement cost.
