How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Match packaging to the part: use strong cartons for small cast gears or bearings and wood crates for larger feeder housings. Cushion with foam and cap sharp edges to prevent punctures.
  2. Seal out lint and moisture with poly bags or VCI wrap, especially for oiled metal components headed to dusty gin floors.
  3. Bundle matched sets like sprockets, belts, and condenser screens, and label each kit with part numbers. Keep fasteners in a separate inner box to avoid loss.
  4. Palletize multiple packages, band and stretch-wrap securely, and print NMFC 118640 Class 85 on the BOL to minimize inspections and ensure clean rating.

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