How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 11790 and “Aircraft Parts, NOI” on the BOL, and specify packaging as boxes or crates with each part number and serial for traceability.
- Stabilize delicate avionics and actuators with closed‑cell foam, anti‑static wrap, desiccants, and blocking; bolt heavy housings or gearboxes to skids inside the crate and add steel banding.
- Measure exterior length, width, height, and actual weight for every box or crate; add corner protectors under bands and use ‘Do Not Stack’ cones if top load could damage contents.
- For export or controlled items, confirm EAR/ITAR status and include relevant documentation (e.g., ATA Spec 300 packaging compliance or FAA Form 8130‑3) to avoid holds.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
