NMFC 108055 - Copying Supply Kits in Boxes | Class 60

Note 108056: NOTE-Applies on kits consisting of printing paper and chemicals. Paper must be not less than 80 percent of gross weight.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print the BOL as: “Kits, copying machine supply, in boxes, NMFC 108055, Class 60; see Note item 108056.” This phrasing helps prevent reclass.
2. Use sturdy corrugated cartons with inner bags for toner, dividers for rollers, and foam around fuser parts. Seal seams well and mark This Side Up.
3. Palletize tight: no overhang, corner boards, and stretch wrap to the deck. Add a top sheet to keep cartons clean and reduce powder migration.
4. Confirm kit contents align with Note item 108056. Do not mix unrelated office goods in the same box to maintain fixed Class 60 eligibility.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable LTL quotes: fixed Class 60 with no density calculation speeds rating and minimizes surprises.
• Lower freight spend: Class 60 is cost-efficient, especially for distributors shipping bulk copier maintenance kits.
• Fewer accessorials: non-hazardous freight avoids hazmat fees and simplifies carrier acceptance across networks.
• Reduced claim risk: boxed, unitized kits travel well, cutting damage, reships, and after-sale service interruptions.
