NMFC 110200 – Lead Shot & Pellets | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package blown or granulated lead in rugged boxes, pails, or drums with tight closures; line bags to contain fines and keep each piece to manageable weights (e.g., 50–80 lb).
2. Palletize evenly with no overhang; use double-wall boxes when using cartons, add corner boards, and band and stretch-wrap to prevent shifting of dense shot/pellets.
3. List on the BOL: “Lead Shot or Pellets, NMFC 110200, Class 60, non-hazmat,” with accurate piece and pallet counts—no density calculation required.
4. Plan handling for heavy units: request liftgate or pallet jack when delivering to ranges, jobsites, or small shops, and avoid co-loading with foodstuffs to prevent contamination concerns.

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

• Fixed Class 60 rating streamlines quoting and reduces reclass or inspection fees compared to density-based items.
• Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and broadens carrier options, improving service availability.
• Secure packaging and clear labeling minimize spill or leakage claims, cutting OS&D costs and downtime.
• Predictable classification helps reload suppliers, ballast distributors, and shielding manufacturers negotiate better LTL rates at scale.
