Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 37000.00 | Roof Edge or Roof Binding, steel, nested, in packages | 70 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Nest the steel roof edging tightly and band with strapping plus edge protectors; for example, align 10–12 ft lengths nose-to-tail to keep bundles straight.
- Wrap bundles to prevent scuffing and tag each package count clearly; palletize when possible or add dunnage under non-palletized bundles for forklift forks.
- Mark the BOL: “Roof Edge/Binding, Steel — NMFC 37000, Class 70.” Include overall length and note any piece over 8 ft to preempt overlength fees.
- Load long packages on continuous support, avoid top-stacking, and use blocking to stop movement during transit; keep weight centered for safe handling.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable LTL pricing with fixed Class 70 reduces quote variance and reclass risks.
- Nested, packaged steel trim improves handling efficiency and lowers damage claims.
- Non-hazardous status widens carrier options and speeds up tender-to-pickup timelines.
- Clear NMFC alignment cuts accessorials from reweigh/reclass and streamlines audits.
