NMFC Description Class
11790.00 Aircraft Parts, NOI, in boxes or crates:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Business Value

  • Purpose‑built boxing and crating lower damage rates on high‑value aircraft components, cutting claim costs and downtime.
  • Non‑hazmat status broadens carrier options and helps secure faster pickups and competitive LTL rates.
  • Accurate dimensions and packaging details prevent oversize surcharges and enable smarter mode decisions between standard LTL and volume moves.
