NMFC 146090 - Fuze Setters | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack each fuze setter in rigid, cushioned protection (foam-in-place or custom-cut foam) and add desiccant; use ESD bags if electronics are exposed.
2. Lock moving parts and remove detachable calibration heads or batteries. Cap connectors and include dust covers to prevent transit damage.
3. For LTL, place the inner carton in a small crate or heavy-duty double-wall box; add shock/tilt indicators and band to a pallet to stop tipping.
4. Bill of lading: list NMFC 146090 and describe as “Fuze Setters, non-explosive ordnance tool.” Add serial numbers for chain-of-custody and declare value for coverage.

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

• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies carrier selection across standard LTL networks.
• Using the correct NMFC item helps prevent reclass or reweigh fees, protecting margins on defense support shipments.
• Robust packaging reduces damage claims and avoids costly downtime for mission-critical maintenance and test operations.
• Proactive planning for site access and security (e.g., limited access pickup/delivery) reduces unexpected accessorials and delays.
