NMFC 155690 - Wire Pins, NOI | Class 70–85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. On the BOL, write “Pins, wire, NOI” with NMFC 155690 and choose Class 70 or 85 as directed by your NMFC subscription; also list material (steel, stainless, brass) and packaging as boxes.
2. Use sturdy corrugated boxes only (per listing). For cartons over 30 lb, upgrade to double‑wall 275# test and add inner bags or partitions to stop sharp pin ends from piercing walls.
3. Palletize with no overhang: align small boxes tightly, add a top cap, corner boards, and stretch wrap plus two straps. Mark “Small Hardware — Do Not Break Stack” to reduce handling losses.
4. Provide precise counts and weights per carton (e.g., 5 lb inner bags, 8 bags per box). Consistent unitization speeds inspections and helps prevent reclass or additional handling fees.

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

• Correctly applying Class 70–85 for wire pins avoids reclass penalties and unexpected LTL charges, stabilizing your freight budget.
• Box‑only packaging with reinforced interiors lowers puncture damage and claims for small, sharp metal parts.
• Standardized carton sizes and weights improve cube utilization on pallets, translating to better rates and fewer accessorials.
• Clear NMFC item labeling and exact piece counts accelerate carrier audits and shorten dock dwell, improving on‑time performance.
