NMFC 24100 - Shipping Blocks, Braces & Straps | Class 65

Note 24102: NOTE-Applies on the articles named, other than shipping carriers, such as are used to brace or protect machinery or vehicles.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 24100 on the BOL for steel or wood blocking/bracing components—blocks, braces, brackets, straps, or device kits shipped separate or combined.
2. Bundle small parts into tight, banded packs on a pallet; add corner protectors for steel edges and wrap mixed-material kits so nothing protrudes.
3. Check Note, item 24102 to confirm scope and exclusions; ship related hardware together when it functions as shipping supports or dunnage.
4. Print clear labels with piece counts and materials (e.g., “10 wood blocks + 4 steel straps”) to speed inspections and prevent reclass delays.

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

• Predictable LTL pricing with fixed Class 65—no density calculations or reweigh disputes.
• Reduced reclass and correction fees by using the NOI entry that covers separate or combined steel and wood components.
• Stronger damage prevention through bundled, edge-protected packaging, cutting OS&D claims and follow-up costs.
• Operational flexibility for job-site kits and warehouse replenishment—ship mixed bracing components under a single line item.
