NMFC 145800 - Bomb & Gun Sights in Boxes | Class 300

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Book the shipment as NMFC 145800 at Class 300; density isn’t needed, but confirm the pieces are fully enclosed in sturdy boxes.
2. Protect optics and precision mounts with rigid foam, lens caps, desiccant, and double-wall cartons; add orientation arrows and shock indicators for delicate assemblies.
3. List exact part numbers, serials, and commodity description (e.g., optical gun sight parts) on the BOL; include ECCN/USML notes if export-controlled to prevent holds.
4. If shipping subassemblies and loose hardware, bag small parts separately inside the master carton and use inner boxes to avoid scuffing and miscounts.

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

• Fixed Class 300 rating speeds quoting and tendering across carriers, reducing time spent on density calculations and reclass disputes.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and special handling fees, opening more routing options and improving rate leverage.
• Purposeful boxed packaging minimizes damage to high-precision optics, lowering claims, downtime, and total landed cost for defense and aerospace programs.
• Clear documentation and proper NMFC usage reduce inspections and delays, improving on-time performance for urgent contract deliveries and MRO replenishment.
