NMFC 185810 – Foundry Core Hand Saws | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference NMFC 185810 and Class 65 on the BOL, and list packaging as “packages” (e.g., corrugated cartons, shrink-wrapped bundles, or small wooden crates).
2. Guard sharp teeth and stamped edges: use tip protectors, edge guards, and VCI paper. Box tightly with void fill; for multiple boxes, unitize on a pallet to prevent shift.
3. Control corrosion on stamped, unfinished steel: add desiccants or VCI liners, keep packages dry, and choose dry van LTL when possible to avoid moisture exposure.
4. Prevent damage from stacking pressure: keep cartons within pallet footprint, mark fragile edges, and apply “Do Not Stack” cones for thin or tooth-exposed packages.

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

• Fixed Class 65 delivers predictable rating and helps avoid density-based reclass charges for these stamped hand tools.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and reduces paperwork, speeding up tendering and pickup.
• Packaging as “packages” aligns with the item wording, cutting claim risk when combined with edge protection and rust prevention.
• Clear NMFC item on the BOL improves LTL rate shopping across carriers and reduces invoice disputes, accelerating quotes and billing.
