NMFC 34630 - Brick Facings on Foam | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm density meets 15+ pcf: weigh the sealed package and divide by cubic feet (example: 120 lb over 8 cu ft = 15 pcf qualifies). Record the figure on the BOL.
2. Palletize with no overhang and protect edges: use cornerboards, a rigid top sheet, and softeners under bands so brick faces don’t chip against the foam core.
3. Orient panels vertically on the pallet when possible to reduce point loading on the brick surface, and fill voids with foam spacers to stop vibration rub.
4. Mark documents and labels with “NMFC 34630 – Class 70,” package count, and packaging type (packages). Add “Non-hazardous” to streamline carrier handling.

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

• Predictable Class 70 rating at 15+ pcf density helps lock in sharper LTL rates versus higher blanket classes for mixed building materials.
• Accurate density marks minimize reclass and inspection fees, protecting margins and speeding up billing with fewer carrier disputes.
• Damage reduction from proper edge and face protection cuts claim frequency on brick-on-foam composites, lowering total cost of freight.
• Package-ready, non-hazardous freight broadens carrier options and improves service availability for time-sensitive construction projects.
