How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm the item is a copier or duplicator belt with a photoreceptor coating and pack each belt inside a light-blocking, anti-static bag before boxing.
  2. Coil belts loosely around a clean core, add soft interleaving to prevent scuffing, and use strong corrugated boxes with void fill to avoid kinks or crush damage.
  3. Palletize boxes flat in columns, add a top cap, corner boards, and stretch wrap; avoid over-tension so coated belts are not deformed during transit.
  4. On the BOL, list NMFC 23383, Class 250, Packaging: Boxes, and mark cartons Light Sensitive/Do Not Bend to reduce handling risks.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 250 enables fast quoting and booking without density calculations, cutting reweigh and reclass fees.
  • Light-sensitive, anti-static packaging guidance lowers damage rates on photoreceptor coatings, reducing claims and returns.
  • Predictable classification simplifies cost forecasting across lanes and carriers, improving pricing consistency for service teams.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, helping control total landed cost.
