How to Use This Classification

  • Identify whether you’re shipping consumer coolers, commercial refrigerators, modular cooling-room panels, or service parts, then reference Note 53002 to select the correct sub-item within this group.
  • Box units in heavy-duty cartons: use double-wall boxes, foam-in-place, corner guards, and door/shelf immobilization. Cap any exposed lines and keep items upright with clear “This Side Up” labeling.
  • For parts (compressors, evaporators, gaskets, hinges), box separately with snug interior cushioning and bag small hardware; mark part numbers on the box for easy receiving.
  • For large appliances boxed for LTL, strap the boxed unit to a pallet for stability and record outer box dimensions and weight to ensure accurate rating and avoid reclass.

Business Value

  • Accurate use of the Coolers Group and related sub-items reduces reclass fees and speeds bill-of-lading creation.
  • Box-first packaging guidance cuts damage to doors, glass, and compressor mounts, lowering claim rates and service delays.
  • Clear part boxing and labeling accelerate maintenance workflows at delivery, reducing install time and labor costs.
  • Non-hazardous status simplifies carrier selection and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving total landed cost.
