How to Use This Classification
- Verify your product matches a named article in the Electrical Equipment Group (see Item 60502 note), then list that exact sub-item and class on the BOL.
- Match packaging to sensitivity: anti-static bag and foam-in-place for PCBs, rigid crate for heavy control cabinets, and double-wall cartons with corner protection for small devices.
- Palletize securely with strapping and blocking; shield protruding knobs, plugs, and terminals, and add top-load protection or “Do Not Stack” where enclosures can’t bear weight.
- Include model numbers, materials, and any delicate features on paperwork so carriers can confirm the correct named class and avoid reclass or inspection delays.
Business Value
- Faster, cleaner quotes by referencing the proper named listing under NMFC 60500 instead of defaulting to density assumptions.
- Lower claim exposure through electronics-focused packing (ESD control, cushioning, bracing) that minimizes transit shock and vibration damage.
- Predictable LTL costs for mixed electrical SKUs by grouping under one umbrella entry and assigning each its correct class on separate line items.
- Smoother carrier acceptance and fewer exceptions thanks to a widely recognized, non-hazardous grouping for electrical appliances and parts.
