NMFC 76360 - Foundry Strainer Cores in Boxes | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference NMFC 76360 on the BOL and describe as “Foundry Strainer Cores, sand, clay and talc combined, in boxes” to ensure the fixed Class 60 is applied.
2. Pack cores snugly in corrugated boxes with partitions or molded inserts; line with poly to contain dust and use kraft paper or foam to cushion fragile surfaces.
3. Keep moisture away—seal boxes, wrap the pallet, and mark Keep Dry; these sand/clay/talc cores are brittle and can degrade if wet.
4. Palletize boxes with corner boards and light top protection; avoid heavy top-stacking and note Do Not Stack if boxes are light-duty.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 60—no density calculation, helping foundries quote fast and avoid unexpected reclass fees.
• Non-hazardous materials reduce carrier restrictions and paperwork, speeding up onboarding with new lanes and providers.
• Proper boxed packaging minimizes breakage and dust leaks, cutting claim risk and keeping casting lines supplied without delays.
• Clear NMFC labeling streamlines inspections and keeps accessorials down, improving net freight cost per core set.
