NMFC 83720: Galvanic Protectors, Aluminum/Steel | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the item matches NMFC 83720: cast aluminum anodes with a steel core and a cement jacket, and avoid mixing other anode metals in the same bundle.
2. Use crates for LTL to protect the cement jacket from chipping; if bundling, strap to a skid, block ends, and add edge protectors over steel-core banding.
3. Keep loads manageable and mark the center of gravity; ensure 4-way forklift access to prevent drops when handling heavy anode bundles or crates.
4. On the BOL, state NMFC 83720, Class 70, full description, piece/crate count, and gross weight, and note Non-hazardous to streamline handling.

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

• Fixed Class 70 delivers predictable LTL quotes and lowers reclass risk since pricing is not density-driven for this item.
• Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and extra paperwork, speeding bookings and dock throughput.
• Crating or well-secured bundles cut cement-jacket damage, reducing claim exposure and replacement costs on marine and pipeline projects.
• Consistent classification supports multi-crate consolidation without surprise fees, improving budget accuracy and scheduling.
