NMFC 30740 - Brass/Bronze/Copper Sheets Boxed | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the metal and thickness: use this item for brass, bronze, or copper plate/sheet/strip boxed for shipment, especially thin stock under 38 gauge (0.004 inch).
2. If you plan to bundle material 0.004 inch or thicker instead of boxing, review Note, item 106722 for the correct treatment; the boxed Class 60 listing may not apply to bundles.
3. Protect edges and surfaces: interleave with kraft or VCI paper, add chipboard or hardboard stiffeners, and fit corner/edge guards so thin sheets don’t curl, dent, or scratch in transit.
4. Palletize boxes flat with no overhang, strap and stretch-wrap, and mark the BOL and cartons with “NMFC 30740, Class 60 – Non-Hazardous.” Include piece count and actual weight for accurate LTL rating.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 60 with no density rating reduces reclass risk and keeps LTL quotes consistent.
• Lower claims: boxed thin-gauge flat stock minimizes edge damage and surface scuffs, cutting replacement and delay costs.
• Operational simplicity: one NMFC for brass, bronze, and copper flat stock streamlines BOLs across multiple SKUs and vendors.
• Better carrier acceptance: clear packaging and labeling for boxed sheets speeds dock handling and helps avoid accessorials or refusals.
