|---|---|---|
| 76300.00 | Nowel Pins, in boxes | 70 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 76300 on the BOL and describe contents as “Nowel pins, boxed – foundry flask parts” to match the tariff language and avoid reclassification.
- Use double‑wall corrugated boxes with dividers or sleeves; wrap pins in VCI paper or poly to prevent rust and keep machined surfaces from rubbing.
- Fill voids with dense kraft or foam, cap the pin ends, and tape all seams so heavy metal parts can’t breach the carton during LTL handling.
- When sending multiple boxes, keep each box to a safe lift weight, mark box count and part numbers clearly, and keep boxed packaging intact even if you palletize for handling.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and removes density calculations, cutting reclass risk and unexpected carrier adjustments.
- Non‑hazardous designation streamlines paperwork and reduces accessorial hurdles for industrial supply lanes.
- Boxed packaging aligns with the NMFC description, lowering inspection delays and damage claims on precision alignment surfaces.
- Predictable costs support foundries, pattern shops, and maintenance teams planning repeat replenishment of flask pins.
