NMFC 108300 - Soldiers' Rec Kits in Wood | Class 100

Note 108302: NOTE-Mixed packages may also contain other articles having classes of class 70 or higher, the combined weight of such additional articles not to exceed 10 percent of weight upon which freight charges are assessed.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Describe the freight as “soldiers’ athletic/recreational kits – NMFC 108300” and note it is moving on a Government Bill of Lading (GBL). Include the GBL number on the BOL and exterior labels for base intake.
2. Use sturdy wooden boxes with inner cartons and dividers: pad radio receiving sets/talking machines, stand phonograph records upright, and sleeve or wrap sporting goods to prevent abrasion and punctures.
3. Palletize wooden boxes when possible: center the weight, add corner protectors, and band or stretch-wrap to the pallet. Mark fragile sides and avoid overhang to keep boxes stackable and secure.
4. Confirm contents against Note, item 108302, then rate at Class 100 (no density calculation). Declare non-hazardous and request base delivery appointments to avoid gate delays or redelivery fees.

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

• Fixed Class 100 yields predictable LTL pricing and reduces reclass/reweigh disputes, keeping government audit trails clean.
• GBL-specific identification speeds acceptance at military facilities and streamlines freight payment processes, shortening billing cycles.
• Wooden-box packaging lowers breakage risk for electronics and media, cutting damage claims and associated administrative costs.
• Mixed-package allowance lets you consolidate books, games, and sports gear under one NMFC, reducing handling touches and minimum charges.
