How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use a heavy-duty box or factory carton with dense foam blocking to immobilize the motor, brushes, and control panel. Lock or tape the coin acceptor door and bag the coin drawer.
  2. Keep the item “in boxes” to maintain Class 100. If palletizing, place the sealed box on a 48x40 pallet and strap it—do not ship the bare machine or a crate in place of a box.
  3. Note the description on the BOL: “Machines, shoe shining, automatic, coin or currency operated, in boxes – NMFC 124680, Class 100.” This helps prevent reclass or inspection delays.
  4. Remove or secure polish reservoirs and any loose accessories. Even non-hazardous contents can leak or shift, so cap, bag, and cushion them inside the box.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing: Fixed Class 100 eliminates density calculations, reducing surprise reclass fees and speeding up LTL quotes.
  • Simplified compliance: Non-hazardous machinery avoids hazmat surcharges and special paperwork, streamlining multi-stop facility rollouts.
  • Damage control: Boxed packaging aligns with carrier handling for vending-style equipment, lowering claim risk and improving shelf-ready arrivals.
  • Negotiation leverage: A standard NMFC for these machines supports consistent rating in contracts, aiding vending and facilities service providers in budgeting.
