How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Drain and wipe down used parts to remove oils or residues, then line cartons or crates with absorbent pads to prevent leaks that could trigger carrier refusals.
  2. Choose rugged packaging: double‑wall boxes or wooden crates with blocking and bracing; bag small hardware, cap hydraulic ports, and cushion heavy castings like hubs or drawbars.
  3. Label each piece clearly: “Used Tractor Parts — NMFC 126470, Class 70,” add orientation marks for bulky items, and include piece counts for loose components or hardware bags.
  4. Review related notes items 126471–126473 for exceptions on specific assemblies; ship as packaged pieces and unitize boxes on a pallet for handling without changing the Class 70 rating.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 rating removes density disputes, speeding quotes and reducing unexpected reclass charges on mixed used components.
  • Non‑hazardous status minimizes paperwork and avoids hazmat surcharges, helping lanes move faster during peak agricultural seasons.
  • Purposeful packaging guidance cuts damage risk on cast iron and precision parts, lowering OS&D claims and replacement costs.
  • Single NMFC for used tractor parts streamlines SKU‑to‑freight mapping for dealers, recyclers, and auction houses, improving tender accuracy and rate shopping.
