How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the item fits the description “jackets or liners, gun bore wear reducing additive” and reference the NMFC note for item 146287; keep product packed in boxes to maintain Class 70.
- Use poly bags or barrier paper to contain any lubricant residue, then add partitions or trays so liners don’t rub and mar surfaces during LTL handling.
- Select sturdy corrugated cartons (32 ECT or 200# burst as weight dictates), fill voids with kraft or foam, and mark cartons with NMFC 146285 and Class 70.
- Unitize cartons on a 4‑way pallet, strap and wrap tightly, and avoid co-loading with live ammunition to prevent confusion at pickup and terminal checks.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
