NMFC 30800 – Electrolytic Copper Sheet in Boxes | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and book at Class 60; this boxed electrolytic copper sheet item does not use density to determine class.
2. Palletize closed boxes flush to the pallet deck, strap tightly, and shrink-wrap to keep heavy copper from shifting in transit.
3. Protect surfaces from oxidation: line boxes with VCI paper or poly, add desiccants, and avoid exposure to moisture during cross-docks.
4. Mark paperwork and labels clearly: “Sheet Copper, Electrolytically Deposited, in Boxes — NMFC 30800, Class 60, Non-Haz.”

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

• Predictable LTL pricing with a fixed Class 60 reduces quote variance and simplifies budgeting for metal fabricators and distributors.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and avoids hazmat fees or special handling surcharges.
• Boxed packaging minimizes edge damage and claim risk, lowering total landed cost on high-value copper sheets.
• Accurate NMFC usage (30800) prevents reclass penalties and speeds audits, improving compliance and invoice accuracy.
