NMFC 145980 - Fiberboard Ammunition Containers | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 145980 and Class 100 on the BOL, describing the goods as empty fiberboard ammunition containers with metal tops and bottoms.
2. 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.
3. Orient bundles so metal ends face vertically to improve crush resistance, and avoid top-loading with heavy, non-palletized freight.
4. 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.

• 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.
