Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
145820.00 Bomb Racks, airplane, in packages 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Declare NMFC 145820, Class 100 on the BOL and note “airplane bomb racks in packages” to prevent reclass or inspection delays.
  2. Use rigid cartons or small crates with foam or blocking; cap lugs and sharp edges, bag loose fasteners, and add corrosion protection for steel components.
  3. Confirm racks are inert with no initiators or cartridges; mark packages as hardware only so carriers treat them as non-hazmat ordnance support equipment.
  4. Stabilize each rack at its hardpoints and keep the center of gravity low; add orientation and no-stack labels when components extend beyond the package.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing with fixed Class 100—no density calculations or reweigh fees tied to NMFC rules.
  • Faster tendering and fewer disputes by aligning packaging to the simple “packages” requirement and listing the correct NMFC on paperwork.
  • Lower damage risk from tailored protection of mounting lugs and actuators, reducing claims and downtime for MRO or OEM schedules.
  • Wider carrier acceptance as non-hazardous ordnance support hardware, helping avoid hazmat surcharges and specialized handling costs.
