|---|---|---|
| 128290.00 | Time, or Parts, NOI, in boxes or drums | 100 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Pack timing modules, gears, or mixed NOI parts in sturdy double‑wall boxes with foam or molded inserts. Example: a timing module kit with small pins bagged and tray‑separated.
- Print the BOL as “Time, or Parts, NOI, in boxes — NMFC 128290, Class 100.” List piece counts and a short contents note on each carton to avoid shortage disputes.
- Palletize cartons to a square footprint with no overhang; use a 4‑way entry 40x48 GMA pallet, two bands, and full stretch wrap for stability and stackability.
- For electronic timing components, add ESD bags and corner protectors. Avoid loose fill that can migrate into mechanisms; use die‑cut dividers instead.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 simplifies rating—no density math—speeding quotes and preventing costly reclasses.
- Broad NOI coverage lets you ship mixed timing components under one line item, reducing paperwork and claim exposure.
- Non-hazardous status expands carrier options and minimizes compliance delays, improving on-time performance.
- Standard boxed packaging streamlines handling, cuts damage risk, and helps keep LTL rates predictable across lanes.
