How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List the part as “starter drives, no motors” on the BOL with NMFC 119820 and Class 77.5 to avoid reclass charges.
  2. Use boxes or drums that meet Package 2114; add inner trays or dividers to protect pinion gears and overrunning clutches from impact.
  3. Wrap metal components in VCI paper and cap shafts to prevent corrosion and tip damage during LTL handling.
  4. Palletize cartons with banding; if shipping drums, chock and strap to the pallet to stop rolling and maintain upright orientation.

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