NMFC 115760 - Adding Machines & Calculators | Class 100

Note 115762: NOTE-Applies only on hand portable or desk top adding machines or calculating machines (calculators).

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the item fits NOI: use NMFC 115760 for adding machines, printing calculators, and their parts when shipped in boxes. If a more specific named provision exists, reference Note item 115762 before finalizing.
2. Pack devices in sturdy double-wall cartons. Cushion keypads and displays, immobilize print mechanisms and tape rolls, cap ports, and remove any batteries or inks to avoid damage and exceptions.
3. Palletize boxed units: keep cartons within the pallet footprint, add corner boards, apply 3+ wraps of stretch film, and use two straps. Mark labels with NMFC 115760, Class 100, and “Fragile – Do Not Stack” if appropriate.
4. When shipping parts (keypads, ribbons, adapters), separate by type in inner cartons and list contents on the BOL (e.g., “Calculator parts, boxed”). Example: 40 desktop calculators to a school district—quote at Class 100; no density needed.

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

• Predictable costs: a fixed Class 100 means faster quotes and fewer re-bills, since density calculations are not required for this boxed office machinery.
• Lower reclass risk: the boxes-only requirement aligns with carrier handling, reducing inspections, reweigh/reclass fees, and damage claims on sensitive electronics.
• Operational simplicity: one item covers complete units and parts, streamlining SKU consolidation on the BOL and easing multi-stop distribution to retail or education sites.
• Broader carrier access: non-hazardous status improves acceptance across LTL networks, accelerating dock turns and helping keep transit times tight.
