How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Ship as a packaged, crated unit on a skid matching the booth footprint; protect glazed panels with foam sheets and corner guards, and avoid pallet overhang.
  2. Apply two to three polyester straps in both directions and block the base so the steel shell cannot shift; stretch-wrap fully, especially around soundproofing panels.
  3. Label Do Not Stack and Glass, and add tilt/shock indicators; schedule liftgate and appointment delivery for clinics or audiology labs without a dock.
  4. On the BOL, describe: “portable audiology examination booth, steel and soundproof, glazed, in packages,” note Class 100, and include piece count and exact dimensions.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 rating speeds quotes and eliminates density calculations, reducing reclass disputes and billing surprises.
  • Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier availability and avoids hazmat fees, ideal for healthcare and university shipments.
  • Purposeful packaging for glazing and acoustic components lowers damage risk, cutting claim exposure and costly reshipments.
  • Clear NMFC alignment streamlines procurement for hospitals, hearing clinics, and contractors, enabling predictable budgets and timelines.
