NMFC 16340 - Gambling Devices & Parts | Class N/A

Note 16341: NOTE-Shipper must certify on shipping orders and bills of lading at time of shipment that transportation of the gambling devices, subassemblies or essential parts, as the case may be, is not prohibited by law.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify legality and licensing first: confirm the destination is authorized to receive gambling equipment and reference NMFC Note 16341 on your paperwork.
2. Use only boxes or solid crates. Immobilize moving components, remove coin hoppers, pad bill validators and PCBs in anti-static bags, and brace cabinets to prevent racking.
3. Mark the BOL prepaid and list NMFC 16340 with a clear item description (e.g., slot cabinet, bill validator subassembly). Add serial numbers on the packing list for chain-of-custody.
4. Add tilt/shock indicators and corner guards for high-value units, and request liftgate or inside delivery if going to casinos or repair depots with dock constraints.

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

• Correct NMFC citation reduces reclass disputes and unexpected fees, keeping quotes aligned with carrier rules for gaming equipment.
• Boxed/crated packaging minimizes transit damage on sensitive electronics and cabinetry, lowering claim exposure and downtime for casino operations.
• Prepaid billing streamlines delivery to licensed receivers, cutting refusal risk and avoiding collection-related delays at security-controlled sites.
• No density calculation required under this listing, simplifying rating and accelerating tendering for time-sensitive service calls or swap-outs.
