Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 121660.00 | Air Meters, Blowers, Pumps, Generating Tanks with fittings for carburizing air, or Weight Boxes (Shells) | 125 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- On the BOL, list NMFC 121660, Class 125, packaging as boxes, and include the actual weight per carton (hardware and fittings included). No density entry is required.
- Protect precision air meters and pump components: cap and plug all ports, use thread protectors on fittings, and pack with foam-in-place or suspension inserts. Keep light instruments separate from heavier tank shells.
- Ship generating tanks and pumps empty, clean, and dry. Seal with dust caps or vent plugs so carriers see they are free of residue; no hazmat paperwork is needed.
- Use clear labeling like “Sensitive Instrument,” orientation arrows, and corner protection. For multiple cartons, unitize by palletizing boxed items while keeping each box labeled with NMFC 121660.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Faster quotes and fewer reclasses with a fixed Class 125, weight-based rating—no density calculation slows you down.
- One NMFC item covers air meters, blowers, pumps, carburizing tanks, and weight box shells, simplifying TMS mapping and SKU-to-NMFC maintenance.
- Non-hazmat status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat accessorials, improving network flexibility and lane coverage.
- Damage mitigation for precision instruments through proper boxing and protection reduces claims and downtime for heat-treat and air-handling operations.
