NMFC 177380 – Steel Spool Barrels & Centers | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use heavy-duty boxes or wood crates with blocking so sheet-steel centers and barrels cannot shift; nest pieces with corrugated or plywood separators.
2. Strap boxed or crated units to a pallet, add edge guards on steel rims, and keep forklift openings clear to prevent bending or puncture.
3. Mark the BOL as “NMFC 177380 – Sheet-Steel Spool Barrels/Centers, Class 100” to avoid confusion with liquid drums and ensure correct rating.
4. Add rust protection (VCI wrap or film) and moisture barriers, especially for long lanes or humid routes, to keep surfaces clean and claim-free.

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

• Fixed Class 100 eliminates density disputes, cutting reclass fees and speeding up quote turnaround.
• Packaging in boxes or crates aligns with the item spec, helping prevent inspections and avoidable accessorials.
• Nesting and proper palletization boost handling efficiency and reduce damage risk, lowering claim exposure.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and simplifies paperwork, helping keep freight rates predictable.
