NMFC 68030 - Cast Aluminum Fence Fittings | Class N/A

Note 68031: NOTE-Gates, fins or sinkerheads may be removed, and they may be cleaned or tumbled.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose packaging by part size and quantity: small brackets, caps, or bands ride best in double-wall boxes with interior bags or dividers; bulk lots can go in burlap bags or lined drums.
2. Prevent abrasion and edge damage: add corrugated pads between castings, fill voids with kraft or foam, and use strong tape; for drums, add a liner and top dunnage to stop shifting.
3. Palletize for LTL: keep boxes within stackable dimensions, interlock layers on a 48x40 pallet, then band and stretch-wrap; shrink-wrap burlap bags together to avoid snagging in transit.
4. Document clearly: list “NMFC 68030 – Cast Aluminum Fence Fittings” on the BOL and note the package type (bags, boxes, or drums); provide dimensions and weight if a carrier requests a density review.

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

• Reduce reclass fees by citing the correct NMFC item and describing the exact packaging, lowering disputes and surprise charges.
• Cut damage risk from metal-on-metal scuffing with dividers and liners, improving claim outcomes and protecting project timelines.
• Improve rates and stackability by choosing boxes or drums over loose bags where possible, optimizing cube and reducing handling costs.
• Speed quotes and pickups with a non-hazardous item and straightforward packaging notes, shortening tender-to-pickup cycle times.
