Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
116770.00 Governors, break feed, in boxes or crates 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack governors in sturdy boxes or wood crates. Immobilize shafts and arms with foam blocking, cap oil ports, and use VCI bags to prevent corrosion during transit.
  2. Label clearly: “Precision Governor,” “Do Not Drop,” and orientation arrows. Keep matched or calibrated pairs bagged together and list serials on the packing slip.
  3. Quote as NMFC 116770 at Class 100. No density entry is required—just provide piece count and packaging type, for example, “2 crates, 1 box.”
  4. For heavier units or export, crate with ISPM‑15 lumber, add shock/watch indicators, and mount to skids so forklifts can lift without contacting delicate linkages.

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 means fewer reclass disputes and cleaner invoices.
  • Faster quotes and tendering since NMFC 116770 eliminates density calculations and complex rules.
  • Reduced damage and claims when moving parts are braced and ports are sealed, improving delivery performance.
  • Packaging flexibility: box smaller assemblies to save cube, crate heavier units for protection—class stays the same either way.
