NMFC 129360 - Computing in Boxes | Class 100

Note 129362: NOTE-Applies on the type of scale which indicates the value of the article weighed.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm your freight matches NMFC 129360: boxed computing gear such as servers, industrial PCs, PLC racks, or GPU workstations shipped in boxes or locked cases.
2. Use anti-static wrap and dense foam-in-place inside double‑wall cartons or lockable ATA cases; immobilize cards, heat sinks, and drives to prevent in-transit shock.
3. Palletize boxed units to avoid overhang; strap and wrap securely, add edge guards, and label orientation. Example: 24x20x20 box on a 48x40 pallet, Class 100 on BOL.
4. Print the BOL with “NMFC 129360, Class 100, Box/Locked Case.” Record serial numbers and apply tamper seals when shipping high-value control units.

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

• Fixed Class 100 rating delivers predictable LTL quotes and minimizes reclass fees from density swings.
• Boxed or locked-case packaging lowers concealed damage risk for sensitive electronics, reducing claim costs.
• Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and streamlines tendering for tight lead times.
• Accurate NMFC coding on the BOL speeds inspections and prevents rebills, protecting margins on tech shipments.
