NMFC 48680 – Clock Weights in Boxes | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Weigh the entire boxed carton, including dunnage, to rate at Class 77.5; note gross weight on the BOL and mark HEAVY if any box exceeds 70 lb.
2. Individually wrap each weight with foam or corrugated sleeves and use double‑wall boxes with dividers to prevent metal‑to‑metal contact and punctures.
3. Fill voids firmly so cylindrical weights cannot roll; do not mix with delicate clock movements or glass—use separate, clearly labeled cartons.
4. For multi‑box orders, palletize, band, and stretch‑wrap; describe on the BOL: “Clock weights, boxed, NMFC 48680, Class 77.5,” and request stackable or do‑not‑stack as needed.

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