NMFC 48695 – Advertising Clocks in Boxes | Class 250

Note 48696: NOTE-Applies on clocks combined with advertising displays, figures, images, logos or slogans. Advertising may be on the face of the clock or may be otherwise attached to the clock.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm your item falls under the NOI Note (item 48696) before rating to ensure NMFC 48695 applies to your boxed advertising clocks.
2. Stabilize the clock face and hands: use a foam ring, a rigid face shield, and wrap the bezel; remove batteries or secure cords inside the inner box.
3. For multi-unit orders, place each retail box in a master carton with dividers, then palletize with corner posts and no overhang to protect glass fronts.
4. Print the BOL with “NMFC 48695, Class 250 – Advertising Clocks, Boxed” and affix orientation labels so carriers load and handle appropriately.

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

• Predictable Class 250 rating streamlines quoting, letting teams compare carriers and lock in accurate LTL rates quickly.
• Correct NOI usage reduces reclass and inspection fees, protecting margins on promotional clock shipments.
• Non-hazardous designation speeds tendering and avoids hazmat accessorials, shortening transit timelines.
• Standard box packaging enables consolidation and pallet efficiency, lowering damage risk and claims exposure for fragile faces.
