How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 200880, Class 77.5 on the BOL and note the packaging type (box or crate) to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
- Shield punched edges and burrs with edge guards; interleave sheets and use VCI paper to minimize abrasion and white rust on zinc.
- Bundle and band stacks flat with even dunnage spacing; avoid overhang to prevent bending or distortion of perforated panels.
- For narrow strips or mixed sizes, crate with cleats and blocking to stop shifting; mark center of gravity and “Do Not Tip” for safe handling.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable mid-range Class 77.5 pricing helps lock in accurate LTL quotes and reduces costly reclass charges.
- Non-hazardous status streamlines tendering—no hazmat paperwork, surcharges, or special routing required.
- Defined packaging (boxes or crates) improves carrier acceptance and lowers OS&D risk, cutting claim exposure.
- Simple, density-neutral classification speeds rate shopping and dispatch, reducing admin time and quote cycle length.
