NMFC 128280 - Railway Fare, or Parts, in boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select NMFC 128280 when booking LTL for fare boxes, validators, ticket printers, and spare parts packaged in rigid, corrugated boxes.
2. Cushion electronics with dense foam and anti-static wrap; secure circuit boards, readers, and harnesses so they cannot shift during linehaul and cross-dock moves.
3. Seal cartons with tamper-evident tape, add orientation arrows, and mark “Fragile—Precision Equipment.” Include a serialized packing list for multi-part kits.
4. Remove loose coin hoppers and any batteries from assemblies when possible, or declare and ship batteries separately to maintain non-hazmat status.

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

• Fixed Class 100 eliminates density disputes, enabling faster, predictable quotes and fewer reclass fees for boxed fare equipment.
• Uniform NMFC across depots and OEMs streamlines procurement, RMA returns, and depot repairs for validators and ticketing modules.
• Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier availability and reduces accessorial scrutiny, improving on-time performance and tender acceptance.
• Damage reduction through proper boxing and internal bracing protects optics, readers, and firmware modules, lowering claims and warranty costs.
