How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Mark the BOL with NMFC 167700 and “Car Seat Frames—Iron/Steel, Class 100” to prevent reclass and speed carrier acceptance.
- Package frames in sturdy cartons or wood crates with edge protectors; nest frames with separators to avoid metal-to-metal abrasion.
- Keep counts, dimensions, and total weight accurate even though class is fixed; uniform package sizes help stacking and reduce handling risk.
- Add corrosion control for iron/steel—VCI wrap or light oil plus desiccant—and use clear orientation labels to guide safe handling.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 100 eliminates density disputes and reduces reweigh/reclass fees.
- Damage control via proper packaging cuts claim costs on exposed metal edges and finishes.
- Faster quoting and tender approvals when NMFC 167700 and packaging details are clearly documented.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges for metal components.
