How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List the goods as Firearm Cleaning Kits — NMFC 108117, Class 70, boxed, so carriers know it is maintenance supplies, not firearms or ammo.
- Pack oils and cleaning compounds in sealed inner containers and bag them to prevent leaks, then place all components in a rigid box with dividers for metal rods.
- Use a tight master carton and strong tape; add void fill so wire brushes and rod tips cannot pierce the box during LTL handling.
- Attach an itemized packing slip (rods, tips, cloths, oil, compound) to speed inspections and avoid hazmat confusion for the lubricating oil.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Predictable pricing with fixed Class 70—no density calculations, easier quoting for multi-SKU kit shipments.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and reduces compliance delays tied to lubricant shipments.
- Clear NMFC 108117 labeling avoids firearm-related restrictions and minimizes manual reviews by terminals.
- Boxed packaging guidance lowers damage claims on metal rods and brush tips, protecting margins on repeat orders.
