NMFC 177950 - Brass/Bronze/Copper Springs | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use sturdy double‑wall boxes with dividers or VCI paper/bags to separate coils and prevent tarnish on brass, bronze, and copper springs.
2. Bundle coils with ties or bands before boxing; cap sharp ends and add edge protectors so springs don’t puncture the carton during LTL handling.
3. Mark each box “Springs—Metal,” NMFC 177950, Class 92.5; include piece count and gross weight on the BOL—no density calculation is required.
4. Palletize with no overhang and tight stretch wrap; keep cartons in the 40–50 lb range for safer lift-truck handling and fewer damage risks.

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

• Fixed Class 92.5 removes density disputes, helping avoid reclass fees and surprise adjustments from carriers.
• Non-hazardous metals eliminate hazmat surcharges and simplify terminal handling, supporting faster cross-dock turns.
• Boxed format streamlines consolidation of small spring runs for OEM/MRO orders, improving cube use and reducing pick-up stops.
• Better protection (bundling, VCI, edge guards) cuts damage claims on precision springs, safeguarding margins and delivery schedules.
