NMFC 200890 - Zinc Plate/Sheet/Strip, NOI | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify the form and alloy: note plate, sheet, or strip (flat stacked or coiled) and list “NMFC 200890, NOI” on the BOL for clean rating.
2. Bundle sheets tightly on skids with dunnage between layers; add edge protectors and VCI paper, then stretch-wrap to guard against white rust during transit.
3. For coils/strip, load on a coil cradle or eye-to-the-sky pallet; block the core, band through the eye, and cap edges to prevent telescoping and nicks.
4. Mark bundle weight, piece count, and gauge; keep bundles within standard pallet footprints to allow safe forklift handling and potential stacking.

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

• Cleaner rating and fewer reclasses by citing the NOI and clearly stating form (plate vs sheet vs strip) when the listing shows Class N/A.
• Lower claim risk thanks to corrosion control (VCI, moisture wrap) and edge protection that preserves finish for downstream forming or galvanizing.
• Better freight economics by standardizing bundle sizes for stackability and improved trailer cube utilization in LTL networks.
• Faster dock turns and fewer accessorials when coils ride in cradles and sheet bundles are palletized for forklift handling.
