NMFC 50965 - Flexible Steel Control Conduits | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package coils or cut lengths as tight bundles using steel or polyester strapping with edge protectors; cap cut ends to prevent fray and spiral unwinding.
2. If conduits include coverings or liners, add a moisture barrier and abrasion-resistant wrap, and separate mixed materials with slip sheets to avoid scuffing.
3. Maintain a generous bend radius: keep coil diameter above the product’s minimum to prevent kinks and flat spots under banding pressure.
4. On the BOL, cite “Conduits, mechanical control cable, flexible” with NMFC 50965, declare Class 60, mark non-hazardous, and select “packages” as the packaging type.

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

• Predictable LTL costs from a fixed Class 60 rating, reducing reclass disputes and bill adjustments.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier acceptance and avoids hazmat fees or special handling surcharges.
• Coil-and-carton packaging cubes efficiently, helping control dimensional weight and minimize transit damage claims.
• Clear NMFC definition for spiral steel control conduit supports clean audits, standardized sourcing, and faster quoting.
