NMFC Description Class

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm eligibility: blades must be worn, cut into short lengths, and moving for reconditioning or salvage only. Note this exact wording on the BOL.
  2. Package for sharp edges: use heavy-duty boxes or sturdy crates with puncture-resistant liners or fiberboard interleaves so tips can’t pierce walls.
  3. Stabilize and label: bundle short pieces, seal all seams, and mark “Worn Band Saw Blades – Salvage Only, NMFC 194350, Class 50.” Include piece count and gross weight per container.
  4. Unitize for LTL: place sealed boxes or closed crates on a pallet, strap and stretch-wrap to contain metal segments and prevent shifting during handling.

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

Business Value

  • Locked-in Class 50 helps secure lower LTL rates versus mid-range classes, improving scrap return per load.
  • Clear salvage-only designation reduces valuation disputes and minimizes claim exposure on used metal parts.
  • Simple, non-density classification speeds quoting and avoids costly reclass fees when paperwork matches packaging.
  • Crate/box packaging concentrates weight and reduces handling time, lowering accessorial risks and improving dock throughput.
