NMFC 78420: Fumigating Chambers & Ovens | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Mark the BOL: NMFC 78420 - Fumigating Chamber/Oven, SU; select Class 150 and skip density fields since this is not a density-based item.
2. Crate for protection: use a fully enclosed wooden crate with blocking/bracing, door restraints, and shock/tilt indicators. For boxes, choose triple-wall corrugated with foam-in-place supports.
3. Prep the unit: secure shelves, racks, and control panels; remove or lock glass viewports; bag and label loose hardware; cap any vent or cable ports to keep debris out.
4. Plan handling: ensure 4-way forklift entry and center-of-gravity labels; request liftgate or inside delivery if docks are unavailable to avoid handling delays.

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

• Fixed Class 150 simplifies quoting and minimizes reclass disputes, protecting margins and speeding rate approvals.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, lowering total landed cost.
• Robust crating reduces damage to heaters, fans, seals, and control assemblies, cutting downtime and warranty exposure.
• Clear SU labeling improves terminal throughput and can reduce accessorials tied to inspections, reweighs, and exceptions.
