NMFC 38450 - Reinforced Concrete Buildings | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Provide engineered drawings with overall dimensions, unit weight, lift points, and center-of-gravity so carriers can assign the correct flatbed or step-deck and plan rigging.
2. Mount each section on a steel skid or bolted frame, then block and brace with hardwood dunnage; add corner protectors and chain softeners to prevent spalling and edge chipping.
3. Confirm route and permits for oversize/overweight moves; schedule cranes or telehandlers at both ends to avoid detention, and ship fully cured units only.
4. List commodity as “Houses or Buildings, NOI, reinforced concrete, NMFC 38450” on the BOL, mark Not Stackable, and note any rebar protrusions covered with caps.

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

• Clear NMFC reference reduces reclass risk and unexpected rebills, stabilizing your landed cost on heavy construction components.
• Engineered skids and proper bracing lower OS&D and rework, protecting high-value architectural finishes and project timelines.
• Permit and equipment planning up front shortens dwell time and crane standby, cutting accessorials and site disruption.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and carrier selection, enabling faster tendering across flatbed and heavy-haul networks.
