Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
36230.00 Corner Bead, Corner Bead Clips, Cove Base, Cove Base Fastenings, Picture Molding or Wall Grounds:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Bundle long corner bead and picture molding tightly, cap the ends, add edge protectors, and strap at least twice; keep total length at or under 96 in to avoid overlength fees.
  2. Pack clips and cove base fastenings in inner bags or dividers inside sturdy cartons, then master-carton and shrink-wrap to a pallet to prevent piece loss.
  3. Identify material on the BOL (steel, vinyl, aluminum) and note packaging form (bundles or cartons). List commodity as “NMFC 36230 – Corner Bead/Cove Base” for clarity.
  4. Use load bars or cones and “Do Not Stack” indicators for slender pallets; add foam or corrugated pads between layers to prevent kinks and edge dents.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate NMFC identification cuts reclass and reweigh disputes, protecting margins on LTL lanes.
  • Consolidating trim, clips, and fastenings on one pallet reduces handling touches and minimum charges.
  • Material-specific notes (steel vs. vinyl) guide carriers on protection needs, reducing damage claims and delays.
  • Non-hazardous status widens carrier options and streamlines booking, helping secure faster pickups and sharper rates.
