Shipping RecordsUpon receipt of the approved Standard Form 135 (SF-135), Records Transmittal and Receipt, the IC Records Liaison should arrange for the records to be shipped to the federal records center (FRC). Shipment must take place within 90 days of receipt of the approved SF-135. If the transfer cannot be made within this time, you must notify the FRC. Unexplained delays of more than 90 days will result in the accession number being canceled and the transfer process restarted with a new accession number. Properly Stacked Pallets
Boxes must be stacked on pallets according to the examples above. This ensures that boxes are stacked with box numbers facing outward and in reverse numerical order so that the first box of the accession is positioned on the top. A copy of the approved SF-135 and box list must be placed in the first box. Pallets should be stretch-wrapped with plastic to secure the boxes during transport. NIH Transportation

The FRC will also not accept shipments that do not match the approved SF-135 for that transfer. It is your responsibility, and not the FRC's, to pay for all original shipments as well as any additional freight charges required to return deficient shipments to your agency.
