NMFC 118120 - Gas Pump Metering Computers | Class N/A

Note 118122: NOTE-Shipper must certify on shipping orders and bills of lading at time of shipment that the actual value of each computer does not exceed $20.00. If the shipper fails to so certify the actual value, sub 2 of the item will apply.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use NMFC 118120 on the BOL and describe as “gasoline pump metering computers,” including model and serial numbers; mark as non-hazardous electronics.
2. ESD-protect each unit with antistatic bags, foam-in-place or dense foam corners, then carton and secure to a 40x48 pallet; crate heavier bench consoles with internal blocking.
3. Cap connectors and sensor ports, coil harnesses, and shield screens; add “Fragile Electronics” and orientation arrows to minimize shock and tip damage.
4. For service-station returns or calibrations, include test reports and RMA paperwork; request appointment or limited-access pickup common at forecourts to avoid delays.

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