NMFC 143270: Casing Heads, NOI — Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State on the BOL: “Heads, casing, NOI — NMFC 143270 — Class 70 — Non-Haz” to prevent reclass and speed carrier acceptance.
2. Protect threaded ends with caps or thread protectors, apply light rust inhibitor, and band to 4x4 skids or V‑blocks to stop rolling.
3. Crate single heavy pieces or shrink-wrap multi-piece sets on one pallet; keep within pallet footprint with no overhang for LTL.
4. Mark center of gravity and “Do Not Stack,” and ensure forklift clearance; wipe away residual oil to avoid cleanup fees.

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

• Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and avoids density disputes, reducing reclass charges and surprise rate increases.
• Non-hazardous status cuts paperwork and eliminates hazmat fees, accelerating tendering and pickup windows.
• Thread protection and proper blocking lower damage risk, preventing costly wellsite delays and replacement lead times.
• Clear NMFC wording on paperwork improves claims defensibility and unlocks better LTL routing and consolidation options.
