NMFC 63476 – Tubes NOI in Boxes/Pkg 1447 | Class 85–150

Note 63477: NOTE-The released value must be entered on the shipping order and bill of lading in the following form: 'The agreed or declared value of the property is hereby specifically stated by the shipper to be not exceeding ______ per pound.' (Classes herein based on released value have been authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission in Released Rates Order No. MC-594 of December 16, 1964.)

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify your pack meets Package 1447: rigid outer carton, dividers or molded cells, and cushioning to prevent tube‑to‑tube contact.
2. Check the NMFC note (item 63477) for exceptions and packing nuances, especially when mixing sizes or sensitive glass types.
3. Choose a class within 85–150 as directed for this listing; if unsure, quote the higher class first to avoid reclass, then refine with documentation.
4. Label cartons “Fragile—Electronics Tubes,” add up‑arrows and stack limits, and palletize without overhang; shrink‑wrap and band to curb handling shock.

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

• Qualifying for Package 1447 can position your shipment at a lower class within 85–150, improving LTL rates without density calculations.
• Engineered inner packs reduce damage and claims, cutting replacement costs and keeping repair shops and distributors stocked.
• Non‑hazardous status expands carrier options and streamlines paperwork, accelerating pickups and transit times.
• Stable classification enables predictable quotes and budgets for suppliers of vacuum/electron tubes serving music, lab, and industrial markets.
