How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Reference NMFC 177760 on the BOL and verify whether your shipment maps to Class 70 or 85 under this item; this listing is not density-based.
- Package as bundles or cartons that keep coils interlaced and supported; use heavy corrugate sleeves, edge guards, and tight strapping to stop snags and spring creep.
- Stabilize the faces with chipboard or cap sheets so coil ends don’t protrude, then wrap to create a flat, scannable surface for labels and PRO stickers.
- When sending multiple packages, unitize them for handling efficiency, but list the primary packaging as “packages” to align with the item description.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable rating with fixed Classes 70–85 reduces reclass fees and billing disputes.
- Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and speeds tender-to-pickup cycles.
- Proper protection for unframed, interlaced coils lowers damage claims from deformation and snagging.
- Clear NMFC mapping accelerates quoting and helps you secure competitive LTL rates across lanes.
