NMFC 38570 - Steel Powder Magazines KD | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the magazines are empty and clean; note “stationary steel, KD” on the BOL and pallet labels to avoid hazmat confusion.
2. Bundle KD panels, doors, and frames with edge protectors, then band to a pallet; bag and tag small hardware and fasteners so nothing goes missing.
3. Include a piece count and packing list for each skid; cap stack height if surfaces are painted or coated to prevent rub damage from top freight.
4. Quote and tender at NMFC 38570, Class 77.5; still provide exact dims and weight to speed rating and reduce reclass or inspection delays.

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

• Fixed Class 77.5 simplifies rating, cutting reclass risk and surprise fees.
• KD configuration lowers cube, improving LTL utilization and total freight cost.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and carrier restrictions.
