Freight Class & Shipping Codes
MOLYBDENUM, UNWROUGHT INC BARS AND RODS
ShipNerd provides discounted shipping rates for shipping unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering.
When shipping unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering via small package couriers such as UPS or Canpar Express, or LTL providers, be sure to specify any necessary special handling.
Use the quick quote tool to see the best shipping rates for your shipment of Base Metals and Articles of Base Metal.
Remember, package couriers only accept packages weighing up to 150lbs, and up to 165″ in length and girth combined. Shipments of Base Metal on pallets, or over these size and weigh limits will ship via LTL Freight using ShipNerd.
Items primarily made of base metal are often assigned a low freight class and relatively low LTL shipping rates.
HS: #810294
Harmonized System
The Harmonized System is a 6-digit coding standard for international classification of imported and exported products and commodities.
The HS number for unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering is #810294.
Schedule B: #8102940000
U.S. Export Commodity Classifications
United States export codes, more commonly known as “Schedule-B numbers” are based on the [international] Harmonized System and further classify the items you're shipping.
The Schedule-B number for “MOLYBDENUM, UNWROUGHT INC BARS AND RODS” is #8102940000 based on the classification below.
| Code | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Section | XV | Base Metals and Articles of Base Metal |
| Chapter | 81 | Other Base Metals; Cermets; Articles Thereof |
| Heading | 02 | Molybdenum and articles thereof, including waste and scrap. |
| Sub-Heading | 94 | Unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering |
| Statistical Classification | 0000 | MOLYBDENUM, UNWROUGHT INC BARS AND RODS |
NOTE: Schedule-B takes the 6-digit HS code, (in this case, #810294), and appends a 4-digit “Statistical Classification”, (e.g.- “0000”) to it.

NMFC®
National Motor Freight Classification® (US)
For (US) interstate, intrastate or international LTL Freight shipments an NMFC® Freight Class is assigned primarily based on density, (lb. per cubic foot).
Our Quick Quote tool estimates freight class based on size and weight entered and displays a list of carriers, services and rates for pallets of LTL Freight or delivery of parcels, (envelopes, boxes, shipping tubes, etc).
Freight Class may be adjusted up or down depending on type of item shipped, handling requirements, how “stow-able” the cargo is and the liability, (potential for loss, high value, etc).
Rates are lower for lower freight classes, and higher for higher classes. Shipments requiring special handling may be assigned to a higher freight class. Products which are high-values, easily damaged, prone to loss, may damage other freight, or are perishable may be assigned a higher freight class. Products which are large, or irregularly shaped, or un-stackable such as assembled furniture, machines, etc may be assigned a higher freight class.
In general, there are (18) NMFC® Freight Classes ranging from Class 50 to Class 500:
| CLASS | WEIGHT PER CUBIC FOOT | EXAMPLES (Most dense to least dense) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | Greater than 50lbs | Nuts, bolts, steel |
| 55 | 35 – 50 LB | Bricks, cement |
| 60 | 30 – 35 LB | Ceramic tiles, auto accessories |
| 65 | 22.5 – 30 LB | Books, bottled liquor |
| 70 | 15 – 22.5 LB | Food items, boxed paper |
| 77.5 | 13.5 – 15 LB | Tires, snowplows, bath fixtures |
| 85 | 12 – 13.5 LB | Pharmaceuticals, wood furniture |
| 92.5 | 10.5 – 12 LB | Computers, refrigerators |
| 100 | 9 – 10.5 LB | Cookware, letal, wine cases, rugs |
| 110 | 8 – 9 LB | Framed artwork, pneumatic tires |
| 125 | 7 – 8 LB | Small household appliances |
| 150 | 6 – 7 LB | Refrigerators, sheet metal, bookcases |
| 175 | 5 – 6 LB | Clothing, couches, stuffed furniture |
| 200 | 4 – 5 LB | Aluminum parts, box springs |
