NMFC 165330 – Car Journal Bearings, Non-Ball | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack bearings in heavy double-wall boxes or tight-head drums; line interiors with oil-resistant paper or poly to contain residual lubricant and prevent contamination.
2. Isolate each bearing with sleeves or corrugated partitions; wrap babbitt or machined faces to avoid scuffing during vibration and cross-dock handling.
3. Palletize low and tight: center heavy boxes on a 4-way pallet, no overhang, then strap twice (steel or PET) and stretch-wrap; add corner boards for edge protection.
4. Bill as NMFC 165330, Class 70. No density entry required; label cartons “Car Journal Bearings – Not Ball/Roller” and avoid mixing SKUs with ball/roller bearings.

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