NMFC 128310 - Shock Impact Recorders in Boxes | Class 200

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use the fixed Class 200 rating and list NMFC 128310 on the BOL with the description: Registers or Recorders, shock impact, in boxes. Include piece count, total weight, and pallet count.
2. Pack each device in a rigid box with custom foam or molded inserts; use anti-static bags for electronic loggers. For multiple units, add inner cartons or dividers and avoid loose fill that shifts.
3. Keep cartons within the pallet footprint, strap and shrink-wrap, and mark This Side Up and Precision Instrument. Even with a fixed class, oversized light boxes can trigger cubic or minimum charges.
4. For returns or calibration cycles, reuse OEM packaging or equivalent protective materials to maintain condition and keep the same class when shipped boxed.

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

• Single-class simplicity: no density calculation, faster rating in TMS, and fewer reclass disputes for precision instruments.
• Non-hazardous and boxed packaging streamline paperwork and reduce accessorial friction, supporting smoother cross-dock handling.
• Predictable budgeting: Class 200 allows clearer cost forecasting; reduce spend by consolidating units into a master carton and leveraging FAK or contract discounts.
• Lower claim risk: purpose-built cushioning for sensitive recorders cuts transit shocks and damage, protecting calibration and avoiding replacements.
