NMFC 37570 - Brackets in Boxes or Crates | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose packaging by piece size: box small cabinet or shelf brackets; crate longer architectural or stair brackets to prevent bending.
2. Pad metal edges and finishes with foam or corrugated, separate layers with dividers, and bag fasteners so sets arrive complete.
3. Palletize boxes or crates with no overhang; stretch-wrap and band the load, and use corner boards to keep brackets from shifting.
4. Print NMFC 37570 and “Note, item 37506” on the BOL and labels to avoid reclass delays and to signal carriers this is a fixed Class 85 item.

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

• Predictable Class 85 rating streamlines LTL quotes and reduces surprise reclass fees.
• Packaging flexibility (boxes or crates) lets you tailor protection without moving the class, cutting damage claims.
• Clear NMFC notation speeds dock inspections and shortens transit interruptions for construction schedules.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges for budget-friendly shipping.
