Notes
Note 137302: NOTE-Separately stated provisions in this Classification for the articles constituting shipments of impedimenta will not be applied.
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the freight matches NMFC 137300 notes. Exclude livestock and personal baggage, and review items 137302 and 137304 for scope.
- Unitize gear on sturdy pallets or in crates. Use tri-wall boxes, banding, moisture barriers, and cushion medical stores with expiration dates noted.
- Flag any emergency ammunition. If regulated as hazmat, ship separately under hazmat rules rather than under this non-hazardous listing.
- Print Class 100 and NMFC 137300 on the BOL. Provide piece counts, weights, and a simple contents breakdown for faster LTL quotes.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Single Class 100 rating simplifies quoting and reduces reclass surprises across mixed impedimenta loads.
- Clear scope limits lower claim risk by preventing livestock or personal baggage from being tendered under the wrong item.
- Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges when applicable, improving LTL cost per hundredweight.
- Standardized packaging and documentation shorten tender times and improve carrier acceptance on military projects.
