| 145980.00 | Containers, ammunition, fiberboard, with metal tops and bottoms, with or without internal fittings | 100 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 145980 and Class 100 on the BOL, describing the goods as empty fiberboard ammunition containers with metal tops and bottoms.
- Nest or bundle containers and protect the metal rims with corner guards; band to a pallet using two poly straps per layer and add stretch wrap for stability.
- Orient bundles so metal ends face vertically to improve crush resistance, and avoid top-loading with heavy, non-palletized freight.
- Verify containers are empty, dry, and free of residue; no hazmat paperwork or placards are needed for these packaging components.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 rating simplifies quoting and eliminates density calculations, reducing reweigh and reclass fees.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving transit flexibility.
- Light fiberboard construction and nesting potential lower weight and cube, helping control LTL rates and minimize accessorial risk.
- Clear NMFC alignment cuts claims from rim dents and crush damage by prompting better protection and handling instructions.
