NMFC 186450 - Templets Iron/Steel/Wood | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select NMFC 186450 and Class 70 when booking LTL for layout templets; choose “packages” as the packaging type to match tariff wording.
2. Pack flat and rigid: use chipboard between layers, add edge guards, then stretch‑wrap and band to a pallet to prevent warping or edge damage.
3. Declare piece count and accurate weight even though density isn’t used; mark “Do Not Bend” and note the material (iron, steel, or wood) on labels.
4. For metal templets, wrap to prevent oil transfer and corrosion; for wood patterns, use poly liners and desiccant if humidity is a concern.

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

• Fixed Class 70 means predictable quotes and fewer reclass disputes—no density calculations required.
• Correct “packages” designation under the Tools group minimizes accessorials and compliance delays.
• Ability to bundle multiple patterns into one package improves handling and can unlock better rate tiers.
• Common commodity for carriers, supporting broad network acceptance and steadier transit times.
