NMFC 146130 - Artillery Gun Barrels in Boxes | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the items are inert components and eligible for transport; note NMFC 146130 and Class 100 on the BOL, and state “boxed artillery barrels/tubes (NOI), non-hazardous.”
2. Use heavy double- or triple-wall boxes with V-blocks, end caps, thread/bore protectors, and rust inhibitor wrap or desiccant to prevent metal damage in transit.
3. Center the barrel in the box and block-and-brace to stop roll or sway; mark weight at each handhold and add orientation arrows for safe handling.
4. Plan accessorials for long or heavy pieces—forklift or liftgate, residential or appointment delivery—and verify any ITAR/EAR or defense-trade documentation before tender.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies rating and helps avoid costly reclass or rebill disputes for ordnance components.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and reduces compliance overhead versus restricted materials.
• Proper boxing and internal bracing cut claim risk, keeping refurbishment timelines and project budgets on track.
• Clear NMFC labeling accelerates carrier screening within the Ordnance Group, reducing delays and storage fees.
