How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
