NMFC 114030 - Afterburners for Jet Aircraft | Class 200

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify the unit is inert and dry: cap any ports, purge residual fuel odor, and note serial numbers on the BOL to match aerospace maintenance records.
2. Use a heavy-duty crate or engineered box with blocking, bracing, and foam around the nozzle and actuators; add moisture barrier bag and desiccant to protect high-temp alloys.
3. Mark orientation, center of gravity, and no‑top‑load labels; display NMFC 114030, Class 200 on paperwork for quick carrier rating and inspection acceptance.
4. Select carriers with air‑ride trailers and aerospace handling options; request appointments and add shock/tilt indicators for evidence if a claim becomes necessary.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 200 eliminates density debates and lowers reclass or inspection fees on high-value propulsion hardware.
• Lower damage risk through crating and bracing, reducing costly MRO delays and keeping flight operations or test schedules on track.
• Faster tendering and quoting because packaging is limited to boxes or crates, enabling apples‑to‑apples rate comparisons across LTL carriers.
• Better insurability and compliance readiness; clear commodity labeling supports insurer underwriting and export/ITAR documentation when applicable.
