NMFC 116690 - Corn Degerminators | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Prepare the machine: drain lubricants, lock rotating elements, cap inlets/outlets, and apply rust inhibitor or VCI wrap on bare steel. Remove detachable chutes or guards and tag the center of gravity.
2. Package correctly for transit: bolt the unit to an ISPM‑15 hardwood skid or fully crate it. Use steel banding, blocking, and shrink wrap; add vapor barrier and desiccant for export shipments.
3. Document clearly on the BOL: “Corn Degerminators, NMFC 116690, Class 100.” Note accessorials needed—forklift or crane preferred over liftgate due to weight and footprint.
4. Control risk in transit: block and brace inside a dry van or secure to a flatbed with edge‑protected straps. Add shock/tilt indicators, photograph pre‑pickup condition, and insure to replacement value.

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