NMFC 128350 - Automatic Damper, NOI in Boxes | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Write “Automatic Damper, NOI – Boxed” with NMFC 128350 and Class 85 on the BOL to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
2. Protect actuators, linkages, and vane assemblies with dense foam or molded inserts inside double‑wall cartons; immobilize moving parts and add “Do Not Crush” and orientation labels.
3. Palletize boxed dampers in a single layer with corner boards and stretch wrap; avoid overhang and keep heavier machinery parts off the top layer.
4. List piece count and accurate weights/dimensions even though the class is fixed; note “Non-Hazardous” to streamline carrier processing and terminal handling.

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

• Fixed Class 85 rating provides predictable LTL quotes and helps avoid surprise reclassification fees.
• Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and reduces compliance time and cost.
• Boxed packaging requirement lowers damage risk to sensitive automatic mechanisms, cutting claims and replacement expense.
• Clear NMFC mapping (128350) speeds rate shopping and enables multi-item consolidations with other machinery parts for better CWT pricing.
