NMFC 41770 - Cabinet Door Catches | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the item exactly as “cabinet door catches, plastic and metal, in boxes, NMFC 41770, Class 70” on the BOL to prevent reclass or inspections for vague ‘hardware’ descriptions.
2. Pack small parts together: bag screws and strike plates, use inner cartons or partitions so catches don’t rattle, and choose sturdy ECT-32 or ECT-44 boxes to resist crush.
3. For multi-carton shipments, place cartons on a 40x48 pallet, avoid overhang, add a top sheet, then stretch-wrap and strap. Keep heavier boxes low to protect plastic components.
4. Provide carton count and dimensions for routing even though class is fixed. Example: 12 boxes, 18x12x10 each, mixed plastic/metal catches, ready for LTL pickup.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating delivers predictable quotes and lowers the risk of costly reclass charges.
• One listing covers both plastic and metal catches, simplifying SKU consolidation and documentation.
• Box-friendly packaging speeds warehouse turns and reduces handling damage, improving claim ratios.
• Non-hazardous hardware avoids hazmat surcharges and accelerates carrier acceptance and scheduling.
