NMFC 134210: Dry Bomb-Extinguishing Material | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print the full NMFC line on the BOL: Material, incendiary bomb extinguishing, dry, in boxes — NMFC 134210 — Class 50.
2. Keep the powder dry and contained: use poly-lined, sift‑proof boxes, tape all seams, and stretch‑wrap pallets with a top sheet labeled Keep Dry.
3. Palletize for stability: use 40x48 pallets, avoid overhang, add corner boards, and maintain a low center of gravity to prevent powder shift and carton crush.
4. Include a spec sheet or SDS (if available) for site security checks at airports or defense facilities; it speeds dock clearance even though it’s non-haz.

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

• Class 50 rating delivers competitive LTL rates for dense, durable boxed product, lowering cost per hundredweight on multi‑case pallets.
• Non‑hazardous designation avoids hazmat fees and carrier limitations, expanding service options and reducing accessorial surprises.
• Single, clear NMFC entry minimizes reclass/reweigh disputes, helping prevent billing adjustments and shortening the quote-to-book cycle.
• Moisture‑protected packaging and proper palletizing cut OS&D risk, improving claim ratios and keeping project timelines on track.
