Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
130770.00 Vacuum, automobile braking system or windshield wiper, in boxes, crates or drums 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use sturdy boxes or wood crates; cap and protect vacuum ports and electrical connectors to keep debris out and prevent damage in transit.
  2. Add dense foam or molded inserts around cast housings and brackets; brace inside crates to stop the pump or vacuum unit from shifting.
  3. Drain residues from test fluids, wipe dry, and bag the unit to control moisture; include desiccant if moving through humid lanes.
  4. Label as Class 100 and non-hazardous; if shipping unusually heavy assemblies, add skids and corner protection to avoid forklift impact.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing: fixed Class 100 means no density-based surprises for compact, heavy vacuum units.
  • Fewer reclass fees: packaging in boxes or crates aligns with the NMFC listing, reducing disputes and delays.
  • Lower claims risk: port caps, interior bracing, and shock-absorbing dunnage protect precision internals and keep returns down.
  • Faster quoting and routing: a single, clear classification streamlines rate shopping and improves tender acceptance.
