NMFC 36520 – Aluminum Roof Flashing | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. For strip or roll stock, keep coils tight with fiber or plastic core plugs, add edge protectors, then band at three points and stretch-wrap before strapping to a pallet.
2. When shipping nested endwall or sidewall flashing, place corrugated sheets between layers to prevent scuffing, cap sharp corners, and band the nested bundle securely to a skid.
3. Mark paperwork with NMFC 36520 and Class 77.5. Density isn’t required for the class, but include accurate piece count, weight, and pallet dimensions for quoting and capacity planning.
4. Choose pallets longer than your longest flashing to avoid overhang. Use a top frame for stackability and request non-conveyable handling if pieces exceed typical conveyor lengths.

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

• Predictable costs with fixed Class 77.5 reduce reclass and reweigh disputes.
• Approved packaged forms (nested or strip/roll) let you consolidate site deliveries, cutting handling time and claim risk for delicate aluminum edges.
• Non-hazardous material broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat fees, streamlining tendering and documentation.
• Correct NMFC on the BOL speeds dock processing and rating, improving cycle time and helping secure better LTL freight rates.
