How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Print on the BOL: “Grain Moisture Testing Machines, boxed – NMFC 122560 – Class 150” to avoid reclass or inspection delays.
- Pack each unit in a rigid, double‑wall carton with molded foam or dense PE inserts; isolate probes, sample cups, and power supplies in inner cartons.
- Add desiccant packs and a sealed bag to protect sensors from humidity; mark cartons “This Side Up” and “Sensitive Electronics” with shock indicators if available.
- Measure and weigh the finished box for quoting and stacking plans; keep cartons under 75 lb where possible to reduce handling risk in LTL hubs.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
