How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Pack hand stamps and small parts in sturdy double‑wall boxes with foam or cell dividers; cap sharp dies, polybag loose pieces, and add desiccant to prevent rust.
- Label cartons with part numbers and “Hand Stamps/Parts”; list NMFC 116210, Class 100 on the BOL. Example: “12 boxed steel hand stamps, 24 lb.”
- If sending multiple cartons, palletize with edge protectors and tight stretch wrap; distribute weight evenly and avoid overhang to prevent puncture claims.
- When shipping sets (handles and perforation heads), bundle each set and include a kit-by-kit packing list to speed receiving and quality checks.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
