How to Use This Classification

Match your item to the proper sub-entry in the Camera Group (DSLR body, cinema camera, lens, projector, etc.) to determine the exact NMFC item and resulting class.
Choose packaging that mirrors the sub-entry wording: OEM foam-packed carton, Pelican-style hard case inside a master carton, or a custom crate for rigged systems.
Isolate lithium batteries and any chemistry from the shipment; this Camera Group is non-hazardous, so send regulated items separately under their correct hazmat rules.
For LTL, add shock/tilt indicators, block-and-brace on pallets, and note “Delicate Optical Equipment” with serial numbers on the BOL for handling and coverage.

Business Value

Start with NMFC 39600 to speed up quotes and reduce reclass exposure by guiding you to the right camera-specific item.
Right-size packaging (hard case-in-box, foam-in-place) to cut damage risk and avoid OS&D claims that drive costs and delays.
Separate bulky accessories (tripods, stands, rigs) to control DIM weight and minimize accessorials like limited access or oversize fees.
Clear non-haz guidance for core gear while flagging batteries/chemicals keeps you compliant and avoids costly fines or reshipments.
