How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- State “Regulators, induction or voltage (NMFC 62920)” on the BOL and include model/kVA rating, enclosure type (panel, rack, NEMA), and whether it’s oil-filled or dry.
- Choose packaging by unit size: bench units in double‑wall cartons with antistatic foam; heavy floor units bolted to a skid, blocked/braced, banded, and shrink‑wrapped.
- Protect connections and controls—cap terminals, immobilize knobs, use desiccant and a moisture barrier bag, and apply Keep Upright/Tilt indicators for transformer‑style designs.
- Send photos and exact dims to carriers for accurate quotes; if class is unclear (N/A), request an item review and note non‑hazardous status to streamline approval.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Reduces reclass and rebills by matching the precise NMFC wording and providing technical specs carriers expect for electrical controls.
- Lowers damage risk on calibrated gear with shock control, terminal caps, and rigid skids—fewer claims and faster RMA cycles.
- Speeds quoting and tendering: non‑hazardous status cuts paperwork and helps secure capacity with standard handling instructions.
- Optimizes freight spend by selecting fit‑for‑purpose packaging (carton vs. crate) and consolidating small regulators on a single pallet.
