NMFC 28770 - Boxes, Fare, in Boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity as “fare boxes, boxed” on the BOL and reference NMFC 28770, Class 100 to prevent reclass fees and inspection delays.
2. Use double‑wall cartons with custom foam or foam‑in‑place to immobilize validators, coin paths, and screens; add corner protection and ‘This Side Up’ labels.
3. For multiple cartons, palletize with no overhang, add edge protectors, and apply 70+ gauge stretch wrap with at least three top/bottom bands for stability.
4. Record carton count, weights, and dims for quoting and handling (class isn’t density-based here), and include a serial/asset list for depot receiving.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies pricing and eliminates density disputes, improving quote accuracy for transit agencies and OEMs.
• Non-hazardous status reduces paperwork and avoids hazmat surcharges, accelerating tender-to-pickup timelines.
• Proper boxed packaging lowers claim risk on fare collection hardware, protecting revenue equipment and cutting repair turnarounds.
• Consistent commodity naming under NMFC 28770 streamlines carrier approvals and keeps retrofit or maintenance schedules on track.
