NMFC 35600 - Building Metalwork Group | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Match the piece to the right subgroup: roof trimmings, gutter sections/downspouts, or ventilator hoods. Note metal type (aluminum, galvanized steel) and whether assembled or knocked down.
2. Bundle long trims tightly with steel/plastic banding, edge guards, and stretch wrap; cap gutter ends and add dunnage between nested profiles to stop crush damage.
3. Crate or palletize ventilators and formed parts with blocking and foam; keep flanges and fasteners within the pallet footprint to avoid oversize accessorials.
4. Measure and declare max length and stack height—over‑length fees often trigger at 8–12 ft in LTL, so plan routing and pricing accordingly.

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

• Correctly grouping freight under NMFC 35600 reduces reclass risk, protecting your quoted LTL rates and preventing invoice disputes.
• Damage‑resistant bundling and crating for thin‑gauge metals lowers OS&D exposure, cutting replacements, returns, and customer penalties.
• Clear non‑hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and dock workflows, improving pickup reliability and transit consistency.
• Detailed specs (material, finish, assembled vs. KD) enable brokers to choose carriers with suitable handling, often yielding better pricing and fewer fees.
