Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
115920.00 Embossing Machines, identification tag, including military-style identification tag, used or reconditioned, in boxes or crates 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Secure moving parts before packing: lock the embossing head, zip‑tie die wheels, bag loose dies and character sets, and place accessories in a labeled inner carton.
  2. Choose packaging by unit style: double‑wall boxes with dense foam for compact benchtop embossers; braced wooden crates for heavier or floor models.
  3. Protect and mark clearly: add edge guards, shock and tip indicators, and “This Side Up” labels; palletize the box or crate with 4‑way entry to prevent fork damage.
  4. Document precisely on the BOL: list as “Embossing Machines, identification tag, used — NMFC 115920, Class 70,” include count of boxes/crates, serial numbers, and request a liftgate if no dock.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 simplifies quoting and budgeting, avoiding density disputes common with irregular machinery.
  • Coverage explicitly includes used and reconditioned units, reducing reclass risk and post‑audit charges.
  • Specified packaging (boxes or crates) aligns with carrier expectations, improving claims defensibility and handling outcomes.
  • Non‑hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and paperwork, accelerating tendering and reducing accessorial surprises.
