NMFC 65180 - Egg Graders in Boxes or Crates | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Choose packaging based on model size: use sturdy crates with internal blocking for heavier frames, or reinforced boxes for compact graders.
2. Immobilize moving parts—lock rollers, secure belts, and bag fasteners. Cap or wrap sensors and control panels to protect calibration.
3. If shipping in boxes, strap or stretch-wrap them to a pallet for forklift handling, keeping the center of gravity stable and accessible.
4. Mark the BOL with NMFC 65180, Class 85, and label crates “This Side Up.” Note non-hazardous machinery to streamline terminal processing.

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