NMFC 30000 - Brake Lining Fabric | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package rolls or strips in sturdy cartons or tight bundles, then palletize to prevent crushing and edge fray; add edge protectors and shrink wrap for stability.
2. Keep friction surfaces clean and dry—use liner sheets or poly bags to block dust, oils, and moisture that can degrade braking performance.
3. Mark paperwork and labels as “Brake Lining Fabric – NMFC 30000 – Class 77.5”; no density calculation is needed for this rating.
4. When specifying pieces, note whether the product is roll goods or flat strips and provide core size or bundle dimensions to help carriers handle it correctly.

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

• Fixed Class 77.5 simplifies quoting and yields predictable LTL rates without density disputes.
• Non-hazardous status reduces compliance effort and avoids hazmat fees or special handling surcharges.
• Packaging guidance minimizes OS&D claims by protecting critical friction surfaces and edges, lowering replacement costs.
• Clear classification accelerates booking and invoicing, cutting reclass penalties and shortening order-to-cash cycles.
