How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Pack small metal hooks and eyes in sealed poly bags or inner cartons, then place them in sturdy corrugated boxes with partitions to prevent metal-to-metal abrasion.
- List the BOL as “Hooks and Eyes, metal, NOI – NMFC 99910” and confirm the correct class within the 77.5–100 range per your NMFC subscription.
- Limit carton weights for dense hardware and use 32–44 ECT boxes; close with an H-tape pattern and fill voids so parts don’t shift or pierce the box.
- For multi-carton LTL, bundle boxes on a pallet, shrink-wrap tightly, add a top sheet, and mark counts/SKUs to speed receiving at apparel or upholstery facilities.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Accurate NMFC 99910 usage reduces reclass fees and inspection delays by matching the NOI hardware to the proper class.
- Boxed packaging streamlines LTL handling, improving stackability and reducing loss of small parts—fewer OS&D claims.
- Two defined classes (77.5–100) allow rate alignment to packaging quality and handling characteristics, helping optimize freight spend.
- Clear labeling and piece counts shorten dock time and cut accessorial risk, improving on-time performance for production lines.
