NMFC 63055 - TV Picture Tube Magnetic Shields | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack shields per Package 2314 in rigid cartons with corner protection and dense foam blocking so thin mu‑metal parts cannot flex or deform in transit.
2. Wrap each piece in VCI paper or a poly bag with desiccant to prevent surface oxidation, and keep away from speakers or magnets packed in the same shipment.
3. On the BOL, describe exactly: “Shields, beam or internal magnetic, television picture tube, Package 2314,” select packaging as Packages, and request carrier class assignment if needed.
4. For LTL, mark Do Not Bend and Magnetically Sensitive, avoid steel banding directly on cartons, and keep stack heights low to prevent distortion of formed shields.

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

• Accurate NMFC wording reduces reclass penalties and billing disputes for CRT refurbishers and electronics service centers.
• Proper packaging preserves precise geometry of magnetic shields, cutting claim risk and preventing costly performance issues after installation.
• Non-hazardous status and Packages format streamline LTL quotes and carrier acceptance, improving lead times and routing options.
• Compliance with Package 2314 builds carrier confidence, minimizing inspections and helping keep freight rates predictable.
