How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. List NMFC 129540, Class 125, and “automatic scale indicators—boxed” on the BOL to prevent reclass and speed carrier processing.
  2. Use anti-static bags and dense foam blocking inside sturdy cartons; cap or pad connectors and display bezels to avoid impact damage.
  3. If shipping multiples, place cartons on a 40×48 pallet, no overhang; add corner boards and stretch wrap with two cross-bands for stability.
  4. Record true scale weight per carton and the pallet total; dimensions are optional for class but help with space planning and avoiding cubic rules.

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