NMFC 154670 - Spring-Powered Clock/Timer Parts | Class 70

Note 154672: NOTE-Applies only when shipment consists of two or more different parts, in same or separate boxes.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack gears, mainsprings, and small housings in sturdy corrugated boxes with cell dividers or foam trays; wrap sharp edges to prevent scuffing and nest parts snugly.
2. Use inner cartons or poly bags for mixed metal pieces; add desiccant and tape closures so screws, pins, or clips don’t shift during LTL handling.
3. Print NMFC 154670 and “Class 70 – Boxed” on the BOL and carton sides to minimize inspections and speed cross-dock checks.
4. If shipping multiple small boxes, place into a master carton or band together; keep each box at a manageable weight for safer manual handling.

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

• Class 70 provides moderate pricing for compact, dense metal parts, helping control LTL spend versus higher classes.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat paperwork and surcharges, simplifying tendering and speeding pickups.
• Correct NMFC 154670 labeling reduces reclass and reweigh disputes, protecting margins from unexpected accessorials.
• Protective boxing and inner packs cut loss and damage on precision components, lowering return rates and warranty claims.
