NMFC Description Class
170010.00 Blocks, flashing; or Strips, eave filler; in packages:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Choose packaging by material: foam eave fillers in poly-bags inside double‑wall cartons; metal flashing blocks in tight bundles with corrugated edge guards and shrink-wrap.
  2. Keep profiles flat to prevent kinks or curl. Use a backer board for long strips, apply light strapping, and mark cartons “Do Not Bend” and “Do Not Top Load.”
  3. List on the BOL: “Blocks, flashing or Strips, eave filler, in packages – NMFC 170010,” include piece counts (e.g., 6 bundles, 3 cartons) and note Non‑Hazardous.
  4. Because class is N/A, confirm rating with your carrier or 3PL before pickup and share photos/spec sheets to avoid reclass or inspection delays.

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

Business Value

  • Reduce unexpected reclasses by citing the exact NMFC item and packaging type on paperwork.
  • Cut damage and claim costs with edge protection, moisture barriers, and backer boards that prevent bent flashing or crushed closure strips.
  • Improve dock efficiency and transit speed with clear labeling and uniform bundle/carton sizes tailored to roofing accessories.
  • Optimize freight spend by validating the rating upfront when class is not specified, avoiding surprise adjustments and reweigh fees.
