NMFC Description Class
167700.00 Seat Frames, car, iron or steel, in packages 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Mark the BOL with NMFC 167700 and “Car Seat Frames—Iron/Steel, Class 100” to prevent reclass and speed carrier acceptance.
  2. Package frames in sturdy cartons or wood crates with edge protectors; nest frames with separators to avoid metal-to-metal abrasion.
  3. Keep counts, dimensions, and total weight accurate even though class is fixed; uniform package sizes help stacking and reduce handling risk.
  4. 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.
