NMFC 131230 - Loom Binders in Packages | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 131230 and Class 77.5 on the BOL; describe as “Loom Binders, in packages” to match tariff language and avoid reclass.
2. Package like precision machinery: pad sharp edges, protect machined faces with VCI wrap, and use double-wall cartons or a wood crate; band to a pallet if weight warrants.
3. For mill maintenance or rebuilds, bag and secure small fasteners and guides inside the package, and note piece count to prevent loss during cross-dock handling.
4. If exporting from a weaving room or textile plant, choose ISPM‑15 timber, add moisture barriers, and place orientation labels so carriers keep units upright.

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

• Fixed Class 77.5 simplifies quoting and budgeting for textile mills, OEMs, and rebuild shops—no density worksheets needed.
• Clear NMFC mapping reduces carrier disputes and surprise reclass fees, keeping LTL costs predictable on recurring parts movements.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and speeds scheduling, improving lead times for urgent loom repairs.
• Robust packaging lowers claim risk on precision components, protecting uptime in weaving operations and avoiding costly production stoppages.
