NMFC 131490 – Plastic Textile Machine Parts | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use double-wall cartons with partitions or foam-in-place for molded plastic cams, guides, and housings; add anti-static wrap to limit scuffs.
2. Palletize cartons without overhang; label each with NMFC 131490, Class 85, piece count, and gross weight, and place a packing list on the lead carton.
3. If drums are used, select tight-head plastic or fiber drums with poly liners and desiccant; band and wrap drums securely to the pallet.
4. For fragile geometries, request Do Not Stack or add crush cones; otherwise, build stackable packs (32 ECT+ boxes) and photograph the load for claims defense.

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

• Predictable billing: fixed Class 85 avoids density disputes and costly reclass charges on mixed plastic components.
• Fewer accessorials and faster tendering: non-hazardous parts eliminate hazmat paperwork and surcharges.
• Lower claim risk: compliant boxing and clear NMFC markings cut damage frequency and strengthen claims support.
• Lean handling: kit small plastic parts into master cartons to reduce minimum charges and dock touches.
