NMFC 16350 - Gambling Devices (Prohibited) | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the item meets the legal definition of a gambling device or an essential part (e.g., RNG boards, payout chips, bill validators, reel mechanisms) and document model and serial numbers.
2. If the item falls under this NMFC entry, do not tender it. Set class to N/A in your TMS, block booking, and mark internal records as “Prohibited From Transport.”
3. For rare exceptions (e.g., authorized returns, law-enforcement transfer, destruction), obtain written legal authorization and carrier consent; use sealed packaging and chain‑of‑custody logs.
4. Do not reclassify as arcade or amusement equipment. If chance-based payout or gaming logic is present, treat it as prohibited under this listing.

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

• Avoids fines, seizure, and legal exposure by halting prohibited shipments before pickup.
• Prevents costly refusals, storage fees, reconsignments, and chargebacks from misdeclared freight.
• Protects carrier relationships and risk scores, reducing claim frequency and compliance audits.
• Automated TMS rules (SKU blocks, N/A class flags) cut manual reviews and training time.
