NMFC 35660 - Aluminum Architectural Work, Cast | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use the exact commodity wording on the BOL: “Architectural Building Work, aluminum, cast, NOI,” and list examples like rail panels, brackets, grilles, or cornice trim.
2. Package for brittleness: foam-line crates, block and brace on pallets, add corner and edge guards, and avoid direct steel banding on raw castings.
3. Document dimensions, weight, and protective materials on the packing list; include photos for finish protection and mark “Fragile – Cast Aluminum.”
4. For oversized or ornate pieces, brace to prevent torque, keep from top loading, and confirm final class with your carrier or TMS before tender.

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

• Correct NMFC reference reduces reclass fees and shortens dispute cycles for cast architectural components.
• Impact-resistant crating and bracing cut damage claims on brittle castings, protecting margins and delivery timelines.
• Clear commodity descriptions accelerate routing and quoting, improving time-to-book on LTL and volume moves.
• Palletized or crated units eliminate loose handling fees and accessorials, improving rates and dock efficiency.
