Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
116020.00 Machines, microfilming or microfilm viewing, separate or combined, or Parts, NOI; in boxes, or loose when having value only for reconditioning or salvage 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Verify condition before packing: serviceable units go boxed; loose shipping applies only to items valued for reconditioning or salvage.
  2. Protect optics and mechanisms. Cap lenses, secure film carriers and lamp housings, and wrap fragile parts with anti-static bubble or foam.
  3. Palletize boxed units for LTL. Use a sturdy 4-way pallet, add corner boards, band, and shrink-wrap; mark Fragile—Optics on two sides.
  4. Document clearly on the BOL: NMFC 116020, "Microfilm Machines/Viewers or Parts, NOI," Class 100, and note packaging (boxes or loose).

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing with fixed Class 100 simplifies rating and budgeting across lanes.
  • Loose option for salvage/reconditioning reduces packing time and expense for recyclers and refurbishers.
  • Clear NMFC coding minimizes reclass fees and cuts claim risk when optics and moving parts are secured.
  • Standardized handling improves consolidation with other machinery, speeding quotes and transit in LTL networks.
