Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
179570.00 Strapping, box or package, synthetic fiber (Cord Strapping) or plastic, in boxes 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. State on the BOL: “Strapping, synthetic fiber or plastic, in boxes — NMFC 179570, Class 70” to prevent reclass or inspections.
  2. Palletize cartons tightly: interlock layers, add corner boards and a top cap, then band to the pallet (using your own strap works well) and stretch-wrap 3–5 turns.
  3. Protect coil integrity: use corrugated pads between tiers, avoid overhang on 48x40 pallets, and keep boxes upright to prevent core crush.
  4. If shipping as individual packages, choose double‑wall cartons and reinforced tape; record carton count, total weight, and pallet dimensions for smooth LTL intake.

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

Business Value

  • Class 70 rating provides predictable LTL quotes and reduces costly reclassification disputes.
  • Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat fees or special paperwork.
  • Boxed, stackable coils improve trailer cube utilization, lowering cost per pound on multi‑stop routes.
  • Clear labeling and sturdy packaging cut OS&D claims, accelerating deliveries and claim resolution.
