NMFC 200860 - Plated Metal Sheet/Strip in Boxes | Cl 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book as NMFC 200860, Class 60, noting “plated metal plate/sheet/strip in boxes” and the specific plating (brass, chromium, copper, or nickel).
2. Protect finishes: interleave sheets with VCI paper or poly, add edge guards, and use rigid inserts so sharp corners don’t punch through the box.
3. Control moisture and tarnish—especially for brass and copper—by adding desiccant packs and sealing boxes with moisture-resistant tape.
4. Keep each box manageable to avoid heavy-handling fees; for example, split a 200 lb lot of nickel‑plated strips into two 100 lb boxes and palletize if needed.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 60—no density calculation surprises for plated sheet, plate, or strip.
• Non-hazardous designation streamlines transit and reduces compliance overhead and accessorial risk.
• Boxed packaging improves finish protection and lowers damage claims on high-value plated surfaces.
• Clear NMFC mapping under the Zinc or Zinc Alloys Group speeds audits and carrier approvals across varied plating types.
